I've thought about it.  (Series 1 uses IBM PPC4xx, Series 2 uses a MIPS
processor).  But I get around to why?  I use the Tivo for its software
and what about that?  Run it emulation mode after writing all the kernel
drivers and making sure Linux Compat works.  What about the use of XFS
that the Tivo box uses?

To my mind, too much work for too little payback.
