Hello - I tried upgrading my series 2 Samsung DTiVo months ago.. Added the first drive and everything was ok. Then expanded to the second drive and I got stuck on powering up.. I had too much going on to troubleshoot so I now have 2 160gb drives collecting dust.. I am a product of the Gates world.. I used to be a tech support guy but never dealt with Linux/Unix.. Now I have an ounce of free time and want to start all over.. The main features im looking for is to expand the recording time, and access the drives from a PC on my network.. Being able to access the menus remotly is a very cool option too.. But I mainly want the option of seeing whats on my drives from a PC.. So after this rambling my question is this.. If I am using InstantCake, all I would have to do is connect the drives to my PC. Boot to the CD, run the setup and when all is said and done I will have 2 upgraded working drives.. But will I now be able to access my TiVo from my network? I have a USB to Ethernet adapter that is compatible with my TiVo.. I would assume I would still have to install the drivers for the adapter and setup my network configurations right? Is this done through Linux? Or is there on option in InstantCake for this?
Thanks for taking the time to read a n00bies story!

We don't provide any networking support for Series2 units, so InstantCake does not provide this either. Check out dealdatabase.com for information on how to hack your Series2 unit for network access.
