Why do "have" all this inventory in the first place?  And it depends on the HD DVR and Tivo.

I just junked my two SKY+ DVR boxes and salvaged nearly everything. The HDDs were 500gb sata nice little haul.  Loads of buttons, connectors and a case for a future project.
If I had only one wish, it would be for three more wishes.

If its a hard drive you can reformat it.  And I thought the "Genie" was the newest box which was considered to be a HR34.
