I have hacked my Directv Tivo, Hughes HDR2, upgraded the drive to a 160Gig and used InstantCake and PVNet. I had no issues with using the software, no errors etc. Put the new hard drive in the Tivo and forgot to put the power supply to it but figured out with the issue was after reading thru the forums. I read that the Welcome Powering up screen isn't part of the harddrive so I realized it wasn't working and connected the power supply to the drive worked much better then! Network was working everything great! Wonderful software and instructions.
Didn't have the local channels and I again read the forums, found the answer and was able to fix that with a visit to Directv's web site.
I installed superpatch 6.2a thru FTP. No issues no error messages. Music and Photos show up and can access my photo's on my laptop. Everything is great. I can actually see my stand alone Tivo that is in my office. It shows up on my Now Playing list but it wont let me access the shows at all. It comes up with a screen that asks if I have purchased the HMO option for my Directv Tivo.
My question is what do I need to do to make this work so that my Directv Tivo will be able to move shows from a stand alone Tivo, series 2 by the way. I am wondering if I need to have the stand alone Tivo also? Is there anyway that I can do what I want, moving shows from a stand alone to a Directv tivo without hacking the stand alone tivo?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
