    I surprisingly couldn't find any rips of the TiVo's interface sound effects on YouTube. So, I did it myself.

    Hey Dave Zatz, you're a well-known name in the TiVo community.

    I knew about that page, but it sounds like they ripped them using line-in. The ones I have sound more clear.

    I extracted the WAV files from @ggieseke's program - DvrBARS, which uses the sounds for its interface. I'm not sure how he got them (but I'd love to hear how!)

    Sound effects? You mean everyone doesn't turn them off immediately?

    (sarcastic, since I do know some don't, and have heard the noises used in TV shows etc.. but like I have computer audio turned off 99% of the time, I don't want things making noises at me. I get feedback via other means that my remote press worked)

    I know someone posted them above, but I did include the wav files in the video description. Sorry, should have put them up here.

    They were copied from the OS partition on a Premiere as raw PCM files and converted to WAV files with Audacity.

    Thanks for the info.

    What did you use to extract stuff from the OS partition? I've had a hard time trying to figure out how to do that (and how to mount it).

    If you used mfstools, please send me a command.

    In the process of writing DvrBARS I wrote my own Ext2 interpreter, which is what I used. Now they use squashfs on Premieres so it doesn't work anymore.
