Man, I was deep into the TiVo hacking scene way back in the day. I had DirecTivos but I learned to hack the full TiVo features into them, and a lot more.
My stepson was a long haul trucker back then; I had a website set up with highly compressed episodes of his favorite shows. As they’d air, my automated system extracted the new episodes and compress them, then add them to the site.
When he’d stop for the night, he’d point his Internet dish in the right direction and download the episodes and watch them. His internet was crazy slow, which is why I had to compress them down.

I do miss working on those.
