This combination of scripts allows you to set up a Podcast of Tivo recodings. You configure which channels you are interested in, typically digital radio channels but potentially also music TV channels where you don't care about the video, then schedule the radioFTP script and it will handle transfer and conversion of radio programmes to MP3 for you. Finally, you subscribe to a podcast of those programmes as generated by the tivoPodcast script. Full instructions are included in the download's README.

Note: This tool is for personal use only, and is intended to facilitate time-shifting similarly to using a VCR. It is not for any other purpose, and you are politely reminded to abide by your jurisdiction's copyright laws.

Requirements:
vsplit... vsplit must be able to decode your .ty files. The easiest way to obtain it is to download the excellent TivoTool, which includes a copy.
LAME
webserver configured to handle CGI
Scheduler (cron or similar)
Perl (Developed using 5.8 - other versions untested)
