Tearing into Tivo! My first Tivo Hack

Well, I broke into my virgin Tivo tonight and ripped her insides out!

I'm working on putting a larger HD in the machine, an 80gig instead of the 40gig that it comes with. I'm following the Hinsdale guide, using the MFS Tools 2.0 boot CD (ISO). Hopefully all goes well!

My next project will be to try to get the HD version of this Tivo to activate the USB, eventually hooking the Tivo up to my network for archival purposes :)

Sweeet! We got a DVR (not TIVO) only a couple weeks ago. Love it! Good luck with your hack and keep us posted. Sounds exciting, espcially being able to archive recordings!

Nice. I need to upgrade mine too. I used to have a 150 hrs. stand alone series 1. THe hard drive dies and I went with a 40 hr. DirecTiVo. The lack of space is killing me. :-)

I wonder if this type of upgrade would work with my panasonic dvr...
