And So It Begins...

2.0_new_boxshot_75.jpg

Using the deal mentioned in the previous post, I've just gotten my hands on a $199 bone stock 40Gb Series 2 TiVo, model number TCD24004A. This machine will the be basis for an ongoing project outlined here in text and images, tentitively called the SuperTiVo Project.

I'll be upgrading just about every aspect of the machine, and along the way I'll post how-to articles about installations and configurations, and reviews of products used in the box. I'll be starting with adding the TiVo to a wireless home network, then adding a 120Gb hard drive will take place. After that, internal upgrades (new fans and wiring) will be done. I'm planning to install packages such as tivoweb, and hopefully I'll be publishing information from this TiVo directly on this site.

I have had the same problem as others on the forum with ordering from the TiVo site.. I want to purchase two 34 button remotes but the site will not let me order them, it takes the order but won't let me on the final page to complete the order... If anyone knows about anywhere else the remotes can be ordered please let me know.
