Hack # 1 - Tivo can playback and record a TV signal at the same time. This means if you have Tivo set up to record through RF, just put a line from RF in to RF out and it can record the video it's playing back. This allows you to edit video, lower the quality of video and many more things. Just hit record and play back a video and Tivo records it with ffwds editing out parts you don't like and at whatever quality you like. There is also a great effect of the the screen fading to white as Tivo copies its own live signal. These are features Tivo does not have, many other DVRs have and many people request. Since I figured it out, I do it all the time. All my videos in my playlist, which are just a hand full now, are these edited videos. I have not seen this hack anywhere. Tell everyone about it.

Big thanks to Zatz's blog for posting our hack and trying to get the word out. Again, this is a new hack so try it and tell everyone about it. (BTW Hack #1 is dated 2007 so it always stays at the top of the blog.)
