Scheduling Tivo over the net

[thomson]

Load the latest TiVoWebPlus onto your TiVo which has basic password security.

It's not too bad... you can also now limit client access which is handy if you just wish to access the TivoWeb from your workplace. It is possible to get TivoWeb to also support Digest Authentication so that somebody sniffing the traffic would have a harder time determining the password. It's not that hard to implement (just needs an MD5 TCL library - which I already have), in fact I half implemented it before deciding that Basic Authentication with a host access list is probably enough for most people. If I get bored I may look at adding it as an optional plug-in module

Other more secure options are discussed in PasswordProtectedRemoteAccess.

Actually I just read that wiki entry and it's configuring Apache to only use Basic Authentication anyway
