How did you install PTVNet and InstantCake?

After using PTVNet and InstantCake, I've never had to "phone home," initial setup or not (my last three TiVos were hacked right after pulling them out of the box).

[EDIT]

I see you have posted the same question on three different bulletin boards. The response you got at DDB was surprisingly non-inflammatory.

HR10-250, Samsung SIR-S4120R, SIR-S4080R, 2 Philips DSR704s (one connected to a Slingbox A/V). One box used the "Zipper"; rest used PTVnet to enable networking features.

Read the sticky at the top of this forum; the correct installation method is there.

I used ISO RECORDER and burned at 2x speed.

I guess I've been lucky - I always burn CDs at 40x with my generic Cyberhome DVD burner. Maybe the difference is that I never use generic media; I always use brands such as Maxell or TDK.

Burning DVDs is a totally different matter, as I look for specific media codes on the disk.
