I was under (it would seem falsely) that streaming from/to a tivo was

it was not that important to me. However, your question implies you can
stream video from/to the tivo from Linux. How? What am I missing?
There are two options that I've come across. There might be others, also.
The first is pyTivo, which I mentioned in my first e-mail:
http://pytivo.armooo.net/
It uses ffmpeg to transform various video formats into something that TiVo
can play and streams said video to TiVo. But, it doesn't work in the
other direction. It doesn't let one transfer video from a TiVo to a PC
for storage.
The other option I've come across is Galleon:
http://galleon.sourceforge.net/
I suspect it provides many of the features that the Windoze TiVo software
has. I've never checked into the Windoze TiVo software myself. I've only
tinkered with Galleon briefly. With it one can transfer video from a
TiVo(series 2 or greater) box to a PC. But, as for transferring video from
a PC to TiVo it only handles videos that are already in a format TiVo can
handle. It also has various "apps" available that enable one to do such
things as accessing music(mp3, etc.) and picture collections on a PC from
TiVo, accessing the PC's desktop from TiVo, accessing weather information
from the net, reading e-mail, etc., etc.
