I saw that... but wasn't sure if it was like the TiVo source. 
You can download the TiVo GPL source but not the proprietary 
stuff. 

Actually... all I see is the CVS tree you can download. It says
that it doesn't include some copy protection stuff and compression
stuff. So... does that mean that it won't work without it... or you
can compile without it and it will work? 

I'd prefer to try out the binaries so that I know that any problems
are winx related and not something-I-copiled-from-cvs-related.
