you have any help for this tired senior?

Hello, Fellow tired senior!!!

While this forum is excellent for many purposes, it lacks expertise in
some areas. The best forum for help hacking TiVos is
http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum. Pay particular attention to the
stickies in the Newbie section. They get a little harsh with people
who demand help. Polite requests tend to get swamped with good
advice.
