Australian Tivo Service Ending 31/10/2017 ?

[Brucep]

Has anyone in Australia done the "Prom mod" to allow access to the filesystem? I wondered if it is possible to create something like a MythTV image to run on the TiVo series 3 hardware??

So the big question is, now TiVo in Australia is officially closing, can a similar service be provided by OzTivo for the series 3 units as is for the Series 1 units?

TiVo are obviously trying to get the hardware out of circulation by requiring them to be handed in to Harvey Norman when taking up their offer on the Fetch TV. I wonder if somebody else is waiting to take over the licensing and doesn't want old hardware hanging around.

Oh, and I assume Fetch TV will be a monthly subscription?

NO, there is no ongoing subscription costs for Fetch Tv according to thier site,for the free services. Unless you want to take advantage of the add on products, like cable channels or Stan, netflix etc.
the only people with ongoing subscriptions are those who get cable via optus or dodo into thier fetch tv.
