Use WINMFS to make a backup of the TiVo operating system to a file on your PC. Then burn a CD of the image. The image is only 400-450MB so fits on a CD nicely. Add a copy of WinMFS to the CD too so you have it all in one handy place.

In fact why not make several copies and tape one to the underside of the TiVo so you know where it is. I do that for every TiVo I repair before handing it back. Makes life for the person so much easier in the future if they have a copy on hand so they are not looking for a working image.

Quite right And jobs have been steadily increasing all the time.
