• Twonky Won't Allow Media Folders to be Browsed
  If you're running TwonkyMedia Server on a ReadyNAS, then this help will apply to you as well. The magic trick was the following two steps:
  - http://192.168.10.20:9000/rpc/get_all (see all the parameters set)
  - http://192.168.10.20:9000/rpc/set_option?contentbase=/ (set the content base to the root)

  Those two finally got me unblocked.

• The TiVo Remote – It does more than you knew it could « TiVo Blog
  Excellent post unlocking some power user features of the remote:

  First of all, TiVo has a number of shortcuts in TiVo Central – the first ‘TiVo’ press brings you to TiVo Central, the next press jumps to the shortcut:
  TiVo+TiVo = Now Playing List
  TiVo+0 = Plays the boot up animation
  TiVo+1 = Season Pass Manager (#1 Priority)
  TiVo+2 = To Do List (2 Do List)
  TiVo+3 = WishList Search (3 Wishes)
  TiVo+4 = Search by Title (Search 4 Titles)
  TiVo+5 = Browse by Channel (no more clever mnemonics)
  TiVo+6 = Browse by Time
  TiVo+7 = Record Time/Channel
  TiVo+8 = TiVo Suggestions
  TiVo+9 = Showcases
  TiVo+Slow = Messages & Settings
