iTivo has worked perfectly for almost two years now.  When I try to download a show, it stars to do it but just fails.  It says, "couldn't download show."  I've tried with multiple shows and get that same problem every time.

I found a fix:
First, open Terminal and type in this command: curl -c cookies.txt -d "tivo:MAK" http://tivoip:80
(replace "MAK" with the Media Access Key and "tivoip" with the ip of your tivo)
Then cookies.txt will be placed in your home folder.
Open it, and change the value 1360972800 to whatever you want (it's the number of seconds past January 1, 1970 that the cookie will expire). I just changed the first 1 to a 2.
Then, save it to some folder out of the way (I just threw it in my Documents folder).
Then, go to iTivo in the Applications folder, right-click, and click "Show Package Contents". Go to Contents, then Resources, then right-click on http-fetcher.pl, and open it in Text-Edit. Once there, change "-c /tmp/cookies.txt" to "-b /Users/'home folder'/Documents/cookies.txt" (change 'home folder' to the name of your user account). Then re-open iTivo and it should start working again!

fetchen!! You are the best! This worked perfectly! Thanks for your help. 
I might as well ask another question. I am running 10.7.5 and don't want to upgrade to Mountain Lion because I hear Itivo doesn't work with it? Thoughts? 
Thanks

hi fetchen; i tried the fix but for some reason I cannot find the cookies.txt file once I enter the statement you suggested in terminal.   where exactly does that file go or even better if someone could send me that file I could drop into my documents folder and finish.
