killhdinitrd Terms and Conditions

As a convenience to the TiVo upgrade community, we have provided the killhdinitrd utility, a simple and powerful tool we've license from dealdatabase.com. This software is for personal, non-commercial use only. You MAY NOT sell or redistribute this software, modified versions, or ANY derivative work in ANY form, period. This software, given a suitable TiVo kernel image, injects its own code into the image. THAT CODE IS COPYRIGHTED and distributed under the same terms as above. You MAY NOT redistribute any kernel image modified by this software, or any derivative thereof. You MAY examine or reverse engineer the code, but understand that doing so implies that any "clone" of killhdinitrd is a derivative work of our project and MAY NOT be redistributed in any form. Verbatim, unmodified copies of this software may be hosted on dealdatabase.com. As the SOLE exception to our no-redistribution policy, you may submit modified versions to ourselves or to the dealdatabase.com staff (privately); staff members may choose to post your modified copy. The intention is that you will be allowed to add support for additional kernel versions, provided that restrictions apply to any of the derivative works you create. If your modifications are used, you will be given credit. This project exists for the sole purpose of allowing interoperability under 17 USC 1201(f). It is NOT to be used for circumventing controls on copyrighted material, and provides no facility for doing so.

DVRupgrade Disclaimer

You should already know that tampering with the software on your TiVo hard drive can be risky and result in a non-working TiVo. We do provide services to get you up and running should encounter any problems, however we are not responsible for any damage you may incur. With that said, we are known for only releasing stable and mature products and you should have nothing to worry about. Our best advice is to always make a backup, and TEST it first. If you do this, no matter what may happen, you can always restore a backup to get your TiVo running again.

Also note that should TiVo update the software on your unit, you will need to go through the kernel replacement procedure again. If new software is downloaded, your unit will reboot and you may either not have access to all of your programming or your TiVo may not boot at all. Again, these things can be easily fixed, but you should understand the risks associated with upgrading.

Again, always make a backup.

By downloading this utility CD, you agree to abide by the aforementioned terms and conditions.
