I tried converting a .TIVO file using the DirectShow Dump app everyone on the net seems to be using. It worked like a charm, but encoded the audio in a way that only VLC can play it back. Every other player, including MPC doesn't recognise the audio stream at all, and plays video only. Anyone has any ideas why?
Also, I wonder why TiVo don't include this conversion option in their Desktop. After all, Freeview HD is free-to-air, so there is no copyright breach...
