wine users - Jan 2006 - Only one app keeps me on Windows - Can WINE free me?

Currently, there is only one application that is keeping me on
Windows, and that is the TivoDesktop software that lets me DL episodes
from my Tivo, and in conjunction with the DirectDump tool, allows me
to convert those Tivo files to standard MPEG-2 files for editing.

Does anyone have experience running TivoDesktop under any version of
Wine under any distribution? I'm rather distro agnostic at the moment
as I'm more interested in getting this working than in whether I have
to use Apt-Get or Emerge to do the rest :-)

TIA,
Ewan

Have you looked at this:

Unfortunately, the tools listed there are primarily ones you can only
use if you physically hack your TiVo. Something that is possible to be
done, but in many cases requires some soldering that I'd prefer not to
perform.

Also, I'm not sure that any of them run under Wine - which puts me
back in the same boat.

Thanks anyway,
Ewan
