I think Michael is right and tivo isn't available in Australia at the moment.

 

However some of the best hacks etc on Tivo have come >from an Australian design. Andrew Tridgell seems to be the main man on this as he has hacked a US Tivo to do PAL before the  UK PAL Tivos were released...hacked the ISA bus for the tivonet and hacked Australian TV guides to produce a Tivo version.

 

info on the PAL hack is here....

and more on the ethernet here.....

There doesn't seem to be much about the Australian TV Guide hack as I think they are concerned about someone providing an alternative to the US and UK services.

 

HTH
