Job lot TiVo giveaway

Dear fellow TiVo enthusiasts,

I have been hoarding 11 TiVo's for far too long and would like to pass them on to somebody who can make the best use of them.

2 of these are fully working for certain. One of which has an additional 120GB drive and Ethernet card. Both of these had lifetime subs.

The rest are a mixed bag although almost all are new, some still have the film over the front cover. Some have only got hard disks missing to become fully working units. All of them had the original v1 firmware which some of you may recall was full of bugs. Most of these were loaned out to execs when the service first launched and given the instability of the v1 platform, most were returned. I had repaired many, some years ago and these are the only remaining units. I had hoped to have the time to revisit them but in over 8 years I still haven't found any time, but I do need the space back. 9 of these are in their original boxes.

I believe many of them have their remotes, some have the original bag of cables with scart and phone line extenders, some even have the original manuals.

While these are a free giveaway, I would appreciate a worthy donation to my toddlers bank account. The best offer and quickest collection could win.

Located in Berkhamsted, Herts, they would need to be collected and preferably before the end of this weekend.

Many thanks.

"I've got 11 TiVos"
- with the little TiVo logo man.

Wow - thought I was doing well with 5! :D

Come to think of it, I could do with giving away two of them. The wife would kill me
if she knew how many I still had!

IIRC they are brand new and unused but the boxes are long gone. I think I have remotes ...
They have no disks in them but you can get those from TiVoland.

Collect in person preferable - Blackpool/Preston area, Lancashire.

Oh - just remembered - I have an older one which does have a disk in it -
400Gb I think - and was being used up to a few weeks ago. AltEPG installed and working on dialup.
I also have a compatible Sony Freeview box available for it - I would need to charge £25 for that
'cos that's what I paid for it late last year.

If only they were HD ...!!!

I would ask a potential buyer to send £20 to AltEPG as these guys have done a sterling job for us!!!

All going well, I'm soon to become the new owner of two of TivoMan5 Tivos (do we have to call him TivoMan3 from now on? :D )

I have just donated £30 to AltEPG as requested by TivoMan5 - it truly is a great service.

Regards
Toff

Do you know if any of the network cards also cache cards?

Cheers
