How to rename a program description on TIVO series II

Can anyone point me to simple documentation that will tell me
everything I need to do to accomplish this (ability to rename program
names/descriptions)?

I have a series 2 & heard that TivoWeb can do this but where do I
start?

Do I need an ethernet connections? My Tivo is using a modem now.
What do I do to access the Shell I keep hearing about?

Any info will be appreciated.

I'm new to all this.

It's not simple for S2. It's along the lines of: remove disk from TiVo and
put in PC long enough to replace the Operating System kernel with a
different one, disable encryption, install device drivers, enable telnet
server daemon, install disk back in TiVo, do a triple boot, then
access the TiVo Web server.

Not needed, unless you're interested in extraction.

Not needed... everythings already there!

Triple boot? After hacking, it's one boot and you're in business.

Or is that your reference to the monte process?

Lenroc,

Have you done this before? Do you have any links or docs I can see
that will show me the process of getting the ability to rename
programs on my tivo s2.

I posted on the tivocommunity.com but have yet to year any answer.

Renaming shows is trivial. Once you have TivoWeb (TivowebPlus, actually)
installed, you'll be set.

What you really want to know is how to follow the steps outlined by Joe
above, with the corrections I pointed out.

There's your trouble. Let's just leave it at... they don't condone S2
hacking.

Try a google for "tivoweb install series 2". ROFL... just trying it
myself, the first result is quite appropriate

As in:
http://www.google.com/search?q=tivoweb%20install%20series%202&btnI=I'm%2 BFeeling%2BLucky

which redirects to:
http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/sh...ad.php?t=28921

READ EVERYTHING THERE before you post anything anywhere.

Ok... you don't really need to read _all_ the pages of that thread. But
you likely won't be helped if you ask a question that's answered in that
thread. All the issues you'll run into are probably covered in the first 5
pages. If not, try searching that thread first, and if that fails search
the forums at large, _before_ asking for help. If you feel you must, ask
for help in the Newbie forum, and put on your flame-retardant suit first.
The regulars at DDB are not helpful to newbs who don't take the time to
search, read, and then search again. This can be a challenge because it's
not laid out exceptionally well. But rest assured that if you ask
something that's been answered on the forum even once, you will be
ridiculed, at the least :-P

Follow the instructions in that thread (hacking the TiVo instructions from
the beginning of the thread, individual program suggestions from later in
the thread, since most of the tools on the CD are now obsolete), then
search for TivowebPlus. Install it from a TPM, and you're done.
