TiVo HME Software Development Kit 1.3.1 Early Access Release

BETA (September 27, 2005)

Windows 2000/2003/9x/XP / Open Source / 700 downloads

HME is the code name for TiVo's powerful new open platform for applications that are displayed and controlled by broadband-connected TiVo Series2 DVRs. HME applications are written using the Java programming language and can run on home PC’s or remote servers hosted by TiVo. At this time, HME applications can not control any of the TiVo DVR’s scheduling, recording, or video playback capabilities.

Developers use the HME software developer kit (SDK) to create these applications. The SDK is released under the Common Public License (CPL).

Currently, HME is an early-access developer release, and is not available to all TiVo subscribers.
