Archived from groups: alt.video.ptv.tivo (More info?)
Now that my Hughs DVR40 has been upgraded to the newer 6.2 OS I'd like to
put in a bigger drive and I have a few questions.
Question 1:
Can I use the info I had on upgrading the drive for the 3.xx OS or will I
need to find something newer?
Question 2:
If the drive is fairly full and I use a relatively fast PC to do the copying
what kind of time am I looking at, 1, 2, 4 plus hours??
Question 3:
What recomendations are out there for hard drive brands/models??
Question 4(unrelated to drive upgrade):
How difficult is it to 'hack' the unit to allow 'Tivo to go' to run on it?
I've been thinking about getting another Tivo for the downstairs system but
to really justify it I'd have to be able to transfer shows back and forth
between the two units.
Anyone care to comment.
Thanks
Bill
