I am building a small tv station. I need an inexpensive way to get my video to my tranmitter site on a mountain, and then play it back for broadcast, according to my schedule.

I'm wondering if there is any way a TiVo unit could be used. I would like to house the TiVo unit at my transmitter site and be able to load the video to it from via DSL from my office. I would like to be able to program it remotely from my office.

Are there TiVo units that could do this, or are there ways they could be modified to accomplish this?

Thank you.

You can definitely do it by networking an older TiVo with a CacheCard or TurboNet card; then you would need to install mfs_ftp on it so that you could "push" videos to it.

Similarly, you would need a unit that you would record the original videos to, from whereever you are, and then you could mfs_ftp to pull the videos off, and move them to your remote location.

you'll have your work cut out for you, however; not much discussion about mfs_ftp on this forum, but if you do a search on google for mfs_ftp you'll find the right places to go.
