What Version of iTiVo?
1.7.7b3

What Version of MacOS X?
10.7.2

What download format did you select?
Irrelevant
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Launch iTivo
2. Try to connect
3. "Could not connect to tivo"

Please provide any additional information below.
I had an iTiVo install that I had been using for several months with no problems.  Recently it started failing to connect to my TiVo.  I had to update /Applications/iTiVo.app/Contents/Resources/ParseXML.pl to get it to function again.  I'm not sure if this was due to an update to perl or what but the patch is attached.

Needed to patch ParseDetail.xml as well.

After a bit more debugging it looks like curl is not writing these xml files to stdout by default.  The attached patch is cleaner and seems to work on all the auxiliary perl scripts.

Heh.  Guess this was a result of a change to my .curlrc file.  Ignore.

iTiVo should probably invoke curl with -q (ignore .curlrc) to prevent this type of issue.

That would be a nice change.  I tried building on MacOS Lion with XCode but got a failure in compiling one of the applescript pieces.  Any idea if this is somehow buildable on a newer Mac system?

Yes, I'm working from a Lion system.  The trick is that you have to install the OLD Xcode.

Finally got around to playing with this today.  This fix works just fine.
