PyTivo

From pyTivo - Wiki

pyTivo is both an HMO and GoBack server. Similar to TiVo Desktop, pyTivo loads many standard video compression codecs and outputs mpeg2 video to the TiVo. However, pyTivo is able to load many more file types than TiVo Desktop.

pyTivo is in no way affiliated with TiVo, Inc.
