Exporting / how to save recorded shows??

[petestrash]

Have downloaded mfs ftp.tar.zip and extracted files on PC, but then I got lost. Where do I find /var in the tivo,

/var is just a directory on your TiVo. use an ordinary FTP Program to transfer mfs_ftp.tar to your tivo in binary mode.

and what do i do with the extracted files on PC??

What ever you like ?

readme.txt very complicated / too geeky for this nonconfident computer tryer!!!

Unfortunately this model TiVo was never designed to transfer digital images so extraction is a hack.

I suggest you have a read of our extraction FAQ it will show you what you can do with the files and also other methods of transferring shows.
