Wow standard def stuff is cheap now
Ed_McCarron:
I've been doing the Tivo thing since the Series I first came out, removed the 20G drives, blessed and added 2 80G, been in a Tivo Beta, but never saw anything about fooling it into thinking it had lifetime service.
Seems the Tivo folks would crack down on that right quick.

It has been out there, just not as public as the other stuff. I seem to remember it being wrapped up in some of the DirecTivo specific hacks... though it also applied to the regular Tivos. Many, many, many of those "lifetime service" Tivos you used to see on ebay were unpaid back in the day. Guys would buy a Tivo, lifetime it, and sell it for nearly double a week later.

Rather than drop another one in I started poking around to see what just buying a replacement DirecTivo would cost...
...and ended up picking up a working Series 2 DirecTivo off craigslist for $29 shipped. Jesus Christ. For people still willing to hang with standard def for the time being this crap is practically free.

Hehe, yup. My old one started having a few problems, so I bought one on ebay for $35 shipped a couple months back.

One of the things we've never had is the HMO and MRV because DirecTV won't allow it... the software is there, however, on the Series 2 DirecTivos but disabled. Now that I'll be replacing the living room DirecTivo with a Series 2 I should be able to hack those functions open so the bedroom and living room DirecTivos can talk to each other... that will be sweet.
Anyone know off the top of their head if XBMC can talk to Tivos? I seem to remember seeing Tivos mentioned in the config files when I set up my XBMC menus.
