Depending on the TiVo and the type of service in question this may not 
be an option.

Adding a network interface to a DirecTiVo is not an easy task. It 
requires much more hacking compared to a SA TiVo.

Not only that, the only reason to do it on a DTiVo is for the HMO (so 
it's only worth it for Series2). Since guide data comes in via the sat, 
and the PPV via the remote will not work with a hacked DTiVo.
