The compressed file can be sent directly to the TiVo and decompressed there using a command line decompression utility. If you know how to do that, you probably don't need these instructions. To decompress the files on a PC, Winzip homepage can be used. First, TAR file smart CR/LF conversion must be disabled (it is enabled by default). This is accomplished by going to the Options menu and selecting Configuration and then Miscellaneous. Uncheck the TAR file smart CR/LF conversion button.
The downloaded file is a TAR (Tape Archive) file that is compressed using gzip or equivalent. Open the tivoweb file (sample name: tivoweb-tcl-1.9.3.tar.gz) in WinZip. You will be prompted that the arcive contains only one file (sample name: tivoweb-tcl-1.9.3.tar). Hit OK and the TAR file contained within the GZ file will be opened by WinZip.
Extract the files to a convenient location, such as a directory called tivoweb-tcl-1.9.3 on your Desktop. Be sure the Use folder names box is checked as shown below.
If the files have be extracted properly, you can open the copyright file in notepad and there will be a square box character at the end of the text (disable text wrapping.) If you do not see the square box character, the files have been converted from UNIX format to DOS format. Make sure that TAR file smart CR/LF conversion has been diabled.
Note: do not edit any of the files using a Windows PC unless you uwe on of the text editors listed on the windows software page!
