With my old Series 2 hardware completely dead, I'm left with an InstantCake disc with an image for this older model. My new Tivo is smaller and of the newer Series 2 variety. I still see the need for IC, but not sure what good it will be to me with the newer model. I want to make this purchase work.

Few questions I have are: Will the image on the IC disk be incompatible with the newer, smaller Tivo? Is there anyway to "upgrade" the image? Anything else I need to be aware of?


Specific model numbers would really help me to answer your question with any sort of authority. Chances are that the answer is "no" if you are talking about two completely different model numbers, the software is different, and you'll need to purchase the appropriate version for your new TiVo.
