I ordered a new cachecard (with the updated 2.2 firmware) -- I am using a Sony SVR2000 with a hard drive prepared with one of your InstantCake CDs.

Can I just install the cachecard in the Tivo and expect it to work? Or do I have to install newer drivers or something?

On this page (http://www.ptvupgrade.com/cachecard.html/) it says not to use the SiliconDust drivers -- is there a way to install those drivers that won't overwrite necessary NetReady files? (and if so, could someone provide step-by-step instructions on how to do that?)

Thanks!

You can use the NetReady Beta downloads on our site and it should work with your new CacheCard; there is a new version of cachecard.o that will do the trick; or you can just upload cachecard.o from the beta silicondust distribution.

okay, I've got the cachecard.o file from the latest SiliconDust driver release

I did a search on the SilliconDust board and found these instructions relating to that file (see below) - when you say I should upload cachecard.o to the tivo, are you saying (1) that I should follow these instructions and (2) that doing so will not harm the NetReady installation in the way your website was concerned with? (I'm new at this and just want to be crystal clear on what I'm supposed to do)

cachecard.o instructions:
[FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]
1) ftp new cachecard.o to /tmp on tivo.

2) Telnet in and type the following commands:

mount -n -o remount,rw /
cp /tmp/cachecard.o /lib/modules
mount -o remount,ro /
reboot[/SIZE][/FONT]

If you are cool with putting cachecard.o in /lib/modules (don't forget to transfer the file as a binary file) then you don't need to go through our NetReady download instructions.

We just don't want you running the nic_config stuff on the TiVo because it will overwrite rc.sysinit and rc.net...
