When I was a kid my family had a TiVo Series 3 which stopped working 10+ years ago. Turns out I found a few DVDs that contained some of our old DVR recordings and all the files are .tivo files

I remember a few years back I tried playing them in VLC but the screen was a jumbled mess and no sound

Is there any way I can properly recover these recordings? I heard I need a Media Access Key but since we got rid of the TiVo many moons ago I don't have access to it whatsoever
