i made some progress on the proxy server
http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb...d.php?t=490198
it turns there are some command changes in python 3.x that Allanon's post will not run.
i made the changes after much google work
unfortunately it looks like a windows thing because of the references to curl.exe so me on a mac it will not work.
i had to change the 192.168 to a 10.0 number since apple's time capsule is a network router too
however it seems to run and respond since i am getting
/download/U.S.%20Drug%20Wars.TiVo?Container=%2FNowPlaying&id=25139&For mat=video/x-tivo-mpeg

maybe someone on a mac can get it to work
note:
1. you need to change tivo url to what ever your tivo uses it will be based on your router most routers use 192.168 based numbers
2. the mak is a 10 digit number used for accessing the media
3. it seems to work by using 127.0.0.1 for the server address
