Taps for TiVo

The modem in my freaking TiVo died...AGAIN! This is the second time in the 18 months I've owned it that the modem has gone out. The first time required a $95 fix and this time it will likely be something similar. Man, what a joke. I can't believe some hungry class-action lawyer hasn't seen all the Usenet postings and filed suit against TiVo, Philips, Sony and anybody else involved. I know there are a ton of hacks and mods that you can do to the TiVo, but most of these are fairly expensive and, after all, since it's my wife's TiVo, I think she'd object to it undergoing any major surgery. :-)
