TiVo upgrade success
Tags: TiVo Hardware
Well that was WAY easier than the last time I hacked a TiVo. Using WinMFS made the upgrade about as brainless as possible. It runs under Windows and it's not even possible to reverse the drives by mistake and overwrite your old TiVo drive. Pop the drive out of your TiVo, stick it in a computer with a SATA cable along with your new drive (I chose a Western Digital WD WD10EVCS.) Less than an hour later I put the new drive back into the TiVo, turned everything back on and voila, now I have 144 hours of high definition available (or 1367 hours of standard definition.) Just about the easiest upgrade I've ever done.
