'Bout time! Too bad it's only for Series 2 users.

Sweet, I just ordered a Series 2 Tivo/DirecTV IRD combo.

Anyone hacked one of these? I got a 35 hour unit with the intent to upgrade the HD's

Replay has had this feature for a long time now.

So has Tivo.

I have a 40 Hour DirecTivo hacked with a 120GB HD. It was pretty quick and painless.

I wonder if the DirecTivos work with this feature.

My Phillips Series 1 unit is up to 298 hours ("basic quality" recording) using two 120 GB Seagates (IDE master + slave). It was quite simple. I believe that most Series 2 models are just as simple, and with the faster processor and extra RAM, the Series 2 units don't take forever and a day to display the index (the "Now Playing" list) when you have a s. load of shows saved. (I've resorted to using "high quality" recording as the default so my Series 1 doesn't keep as many programs saved--in HQ mode, the recorded shows look MUCH better, I still have 133 hours of recording time, and the index shows up in an acceptable amount of time.)

You still need to pay $99 to buy Home Media option that allows remote scheduling. Then you'll need to hook up your TiVo with broadband access (i.e. buy usb network adapter) - another $30-$40. It's very unfortunate TV decided to rip off it's loyal customers like that.

Does this Home Media Option work with the Hughes DirecTIVO DVR2?

PM me if you want some links to Tivo series 2 hacking. It's relatively painless

Two thumbs up to weaknees. I was too lazy to go through the process of adding another drive to my series2 from scratch. Ordered a 120GB from them and put it in in about 5 minutes, working flawlessly. Awesome company!

I've had this same type of thing with my Series 1 Tivo for a while. I hacked my series one in order to include a bigger harddrive. Also when I hacked it, I installed "TivoWeb". Tivoweb allows me to access my Tivo over the internet. I then installed a tivoweb module that allows me to manually schedule recordings anytime and anywhere I want to.

This new Tivo services actually sounds better than the ReplayTV one, because with the ReplayTV one, it connects at night time... so if I schedule a show to be recorded at 5:00 tonight on myreplaytv.com, it won't work because the replaytv needs to connect to the services in order to get that update.

I've got one up on that... There's a fork of TiVoweb that adds WAP functionality. That's what mine is running. Nextel basic web package allows me to schedule recordings via my cell phone from anywhere I can get service.

I've got the same kind of thing going for e-mail. A linux box is running imapd and apache hosting a WAP email client - I can access my whole inbox via my phone.

I'm not sure - but I don't see why not. It's more of a software upgrade, than anything else. It allows you to play mp3s, watch photoes, share content between multiple TiVO recorders and enables remote scheduling.

Yeah, my ReplayTV had this about 3 years ago. (without having to buy a hundred dollar add-on)

And of course, it doesn't work with my DirecTV Tivo.

Tivo is crap. I owned a series 1 Replay, an Ultimate TV, and now a Series 2 Tivo. The Tivo is by far my least favorite - it's a real shame they won the popularity contest. The user interface is "simple" but so painful and slow to deal with.
