  I got a question on this.  I've seen claims that Series 2 TiVo's
cannot be "hacked" to modify/add software.  I've also seen claims that
they can, if you use a PC to gain access to the hard disks first and
insert a suitable back door.  Anyone have any trustworthy information
on the subject?  Most everything I find with Google is either *years*
out-of-date, incoherent, or both.
