Mike P Gets Nutty with his Tivo

Okay, if you’ve been inside CaptainU you know that Mike P, our technology guru is an outrageously good programmer. So what do 1 and 0 crushers do in their free time? How about hacking your Tivo to record HD video directly onto your Mac?!

There I was today, minding my business and making a few calls when a file comes across Skype from Mike. I accepted the file transfer only to find that it was a 210 MB, 30-second clip of Oguchi Onyewu’s goal against Mexico last night. A mere twenty minutes later, the file transfer was complete and I was looking at the most high-def video I’ve seen on my computer. Mike was deliriously giddy. I was pretty stoked too. It was a nice, if somewhat bizarre goal. Above is a screen shot (click on it for glorious high def.)
