Well, took the plunge and upgraded the hard drives on my "new" S4040Rs with 250GB Maxtor Quickviews using PTVNet 6.2 & InstantCake 6.2a. Everything seemed to go correctly, easily and quickly. Installed the drives, fired up the DVRs and was back "on the air" in less than an hour & 1/2. System info tells me I now have 235hrs of record time.
Now I'm working on getting networking working so as to enable HMO & MRV. However, I've yet to get my network to recognize the TiVos. When I checked in "Settings" I only have "Phone" shown, not "Phone and Networking" as I've seen mentioned in various places that I probably should be seeing.
I'm using Linksys USB100TX Ver: 3.0 adaptors. They are detected as new hardware by my system when I plug them into the computer's USB port so it would seem that they work. But "nothing" when plugged into either USB port on either DVR. (I did a reboot on the DVRs after plugging them in so they'd be recognized, but no luck.)
Could I have missed something on the upgrade? I also did the disable the phone call option during the upgrade, but I notice that the DVRs say the phone call failed because of no dial tone (phone line not connected as I got the U/G to 6.3 on my R10s and don't want that to overwrite the 6.2a just installed on the S4040Rs) and shows that the call has been rescheduled. So, it appears that the "phone off" option didn't take. I wonder if that might be the case with some other required feature to be able to network?
Suggestions as to what to look for to solve this will be greatly appreciated!
