Sweet DTV TIVO storage upgrade

[Pliablemoose]

Finally got around to upgrading my DTV series 2 TIVO, bumped the storage up from 40 hours to 120.

The kids keep recording stuff & filling up the 40 hours & my season pass programs auto delete too quickly with just 40 hours.

http://www.weaknees.com/ has guides & an interactive guide too...

Well done... I ran my 40hr up to 100+ a while back.

DirecTiVo is awesome! 😀

http://9thtee.com/ is good for the upgrade instructions and the mounting brackets, etc.

Yep, took mine from 40 hours to around 280 hours as soon as I got it. 40 hours just isn't enough when you start recording whole seasons of something.....

Biggest problem I had was figuring out linux drive numbering, & changing the command line to match the relative order of the various HD's, couldn't get the orig TIVO drive to be recognized as master on the secondary IDE, had to wing it a bit, just for kicks, tried the upgraded HD as mastr on the secondary IDE, still wasn't recognized😕
