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.
