Being older it may well be an IDE drive so you would need an IDE to USB caddy. You almost definitely wouldn't need to change jumpers. (I presume that a more modern machine would recognise IDE - would it, anyone?)
Anyway, the drive may be encrypted but even if not I suspect the files could be in a filesystem or format which your laptop doesn't recognise (natively).
The original TiVos were essentially a Linux machine and (IIRC) the files were .vob files. I could read the disk and copy off the files using tools which people had written, but it certainly wasn't as easy as plug it in and away you go, not a by a long chalk!!
This thread talks about a manual method for recovering shows from some Panasonics.

Maybe someone has written a tool that does it.
Disclaimer: Much of the above is informed assumption and I don't mind being proved wrong!!
