Hi,

My previuosly un-hacked, un-opened TiVo TCD24008a Series 2 got the 7.1 update about 2 weeks ago, and it worked fine for one week. During the Superbowl the drive died :eek: . I was expecting the drive to fail as the tivo had been expecting symptoms of a bad drive for some time (unexpected reboots during the last couple of months etc...) Of course my warranty has expired on the unit.

If I use InstantCake to install a new drive to the 4.x OS level will I get the 7.1 update from Tivo again? Or should I hold out and wait for a 7.1 InstantCake release?

Thanks for any advice.

Your unit will download the service update again. Hopefully, you are using a USB connection so you won't have to wait long for it to come down through the phone lines.
