Thanks!

See this: TiVO is not register the filter or not setting the Filter MERIT correctly in the registry:
> When you call RenderFile, the FG manager starts by selecting a source filter for the file you pass in. It does this using a table in the registry that contains sets of offset, mask and test bytes to check the file. This gives it the CLSID of a filter to use as a source filter (and also a media type for the file to save the source filter redoing the check). See 'Registering a custom file type' in the DirectShow documentation.
> It will only try filters from the registry if they are registered as taking the right media type and subtype. Each filter in the registry has a merit value, and filters will be tried in order of merit (MERIT_DO_NOT_USE and below are not tried). You can register your filter as having a wild-card input (GUID_NULL as a media type or as a subtype). Your filter can also register its output pins: I don't think this is important for rendering, but it is needed for a 'Connect' operation to try your filter. Also note that the information in the registry is only used to prevent loading filters unnecessarily. Once a filter has been loaded, the media type information is always obtained from the pin and not from the registry.
You should try to see if you can change the merit of the TiVO Source Filter in the registry using some tools
