One was a reference to ip address 204.176.49.4:80
I won't bother to post the rest of the URL because what I found interesting was when I put this URL in my web browser... The 80 of course is the port and indicates it is http.. so I tried it, and got this:
"Ekki ekki ekki ekki p'ting zooooooop boing! Ni."
The page title is "Castle Anthrax home page"
I will give you a clue.. the TiVo uses a cgi script in a sub-dir of that page...
What is that all about??



Could be how the TiVo gets guide data. It only makes sense that the box would use HTTP to get data from TiVo's servers as getting data from HTTP servers is fairly easy from the programmer's standpoint.
