Hi jacqueline1701,
What I would do is buy a kit for an external USB drive & mount your hard drive in it.
Something like this - http://cgi.ebay.com/Adaptec-3-5-USB-External-IDE-Hard-Drive-Enclosure-KIT_W0QQitemZ250094231514QQcategoryZ41911QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Tivo and PCs most probably use different file systems
(Tivo is most likely a Linux-based box so it uses a Unix file system)
So, by just mounting the Drive to your PC you may not have much luck reading anything.
Plus, If I were Tivo, I would also use some encryption, especially for movie downloads and premium content so that inquiring minds like you don't tamper with copyrighted content.
