For Sale: TiVo 40 hour DVR w/ lifetime subscription

[rrfield]

This is kosher, right? Read the sticky...delete this if necessary.

I have a Series 2 TiVo, 40 hour, with lifetime subscription ($300) that I don't need anymore. My new cable service comes with a DVR, so I'm going to sell the TiVo and buy a surround sound receiver. I actually like the interface of the TiVo much better than the motorola DVR the cable company hands out, but I don't need two DVR's.

Absolutly zero problems with the TiVo. I'll offer it up here to my good friends at OTC for the unbeleivable price of (oh my) $250!!!!!!!!!!!! (plus shipping, probably $20 to $25, which is where I'm going to set the "buy now" price on e-bay if no one here bites.)

Seriously, this thing is pretty darn cool. But don't call it a fancy VCR or HomeLAN will eat your face

Can the HDD be upgraded by the consumer? (without outlandish hassles)

 

[rrfield]

Physically it's no problem - the existing HDD is 40gb maxtor 5400rpm. transfering the OS is a little tricky, but I found a link (http://www.newreleasesvideo.com/hinsdale-how-to/index2.html) with instructions.

There are two USB ports also, but the documentation says nothing about them. I'm guessing in a future software release they will be enabled to connect an external HDD, but that's just a guess.

Speaking of which, does anyone know if I am still on HomeLAN's iggy list?

I tried to apologize but he never responded.

 

[unclehobart]

HomeLAN doesn't come here anymore... so we are effectively all on his ignore list.

Again? I thought he was back.

How'd that happen?

 

[unclehobart]

Twasn't a one-off instance. It was more of a 'straw that broke the camels back' pressure wave building over a series of weeks and months.

To be fair, it's his business and he certainly doesn't owe us an explanation.

So who's looking after his forum while he's got his head in the sand?

 

[Gonz]

We're supposed to look after forums? Ugh-oh.

I just did! Took me 2 hours to upgrade to an 80gb HDD, the system info screen now says 85 hours at basic quallity. I'm watching e-bay now to see what I can get for the box after this upgrade.

We're supposed to look after forums? Ugh-oh.

We have Moderators??? and here I thought it was only the Liberal Communistrator that was AWOL.

Damn, if I wasn't in a money crunch ATM, I'd be interested...
