Where might I look for information on harvesting video files from the U-verse TV service's TiVo-like device (Motorola VIP1216 DVR)?
The drive is an IDE drive. It has two partitions which both mount fine on my MacBook Pro using an external drive dock. The first partition is reported to be FAT16 in the Mac OS Disk Utility application. The video files are on the other partition, which is apparently FAT32. I copied one 1GB file from the device, then returned it to the DVR to be sure that none of my exploration had caused any harm, and everything still worked, so no harm done. The only files big enough to contain video are each 1G in size and have names such as 0000001140000000.slc. Their names all end in '.slc'. After doing a tiny bit of examining, it would appear that the files with names containing letters consist of zeros, and the files with names containing any numbers other than 0 are the ones with the video content. I'll appreciate any advice (well, almost any ).

Distro that can run on the Motorola VIP1216. I am planning to throw XBMC on it. Neighbour 'hacked' my elliptical blue tooth speakers to rant obscene things. The Cisco IPN430MC is a High-Definition IPTV Media Center with DVR. To qualify as 'Media Center' as Cisco calls it, the box features home networking capability by the100Base T Ethernet compatibility or the integrated Home PNA 3.0 for IP-over-Coax line.
entertainment options out there, I really don't need to pay for cable,
so today I called to cancel. The guy on the phone said if I don't return

and SD, has all sorts of nice outputs, is network accessible, fits in an
entertainment center nicely, has a remote and doesn't use much power.
And it runs Linux. Specs are here:

All of the posts I have run across talk about grabbing the stream from
u-verse to get to a Myth box, but what if this *was* the Myth box? A box
like this for $150 sounds pretty nice. Do you think it's possible to
blow away the software on the hdd and install a standard distro? The CPU
is a 400+DMIPS, which I know nothing about yet. The other potential kink
is that it advertises an 'Integrated Secure Processor' so I don't know
if that ties into the OS.
