When I get the software for a rca dvr39, can I use that same software for a rca dvr40? The one in my room is the 39 and the kids have a 40 in their room is the reason I ask.

What software are you talking about? The boot CD? InstantCake? PTVnet?

The PTVnet and the Instantcake. Does the universal boot cd include the PTVnet software?

The same version of the PTVnet CD can be used for all supported models.

InstantCake is a different version for each supported model; ie different CD for each model. This is a REQUIREMENT.

The universal boot CD and the PTVnet CD are completely different products, so no, one is not included with the other.

One more question. Should I use the 3.1.1e PTVnet and Instantcake or use the 6.2 version?

You should use the version that corresponds to the version of the system software running on your TiVo. The latest is 6.2.
