Hmmm, need a spare Tivo now!

Postby spitfires » Tue Feb 15, 2011 3:52 pm

I can see I'm going to have to get one of those fleece-u-bay 99p Tivos as a spare to tinker with...

I've one at my inlaws house going spare. I bought it in case I needed parts. I've got 2 here - one uk, one Swedish.

I'm 99% certain that I've got one with an upgraded drive and a network card (not cachecard) which should still be working - although it's been dormant for a while.

Let me know if you still need one for testing the alternative EPG. I've got a new Virgin box but still want to use our existing 2 S1s on Freeview.

If anybody else has a spare one, I'm on the lookout too - both mine have hardware issues, which is why I stopped using them last year. And the one with the dodgy video that I was trying to test with seems to have corrupted its disc now too.. :(

Well having corrupted 2 Tivos over the last week and having rebuilt them I can at least compile a guide on how to do it if that is helpful.

What about an image? I have one of those if that's allowed to be advertised??

I have a spare which I bought off ebay, many moons ago - apparently it has a sound problem - but TBH, I have never even opened it.

I also have an original (used) 40GB Tivo drive, and, if I can find it(them) some images.

I live near Stafford, work in Sheffield, if any of that sounds useful.
Regards,

I'm in Salford, so not quite on the obvious commute route for you. I'm happy to cover postage, though, if you are willing to let it go?

I will try and resurrect mine with a re-image, but it had flickering video issues, and the other one has no sound at all... Pity, I was looking forward to watching some of the Big Brother 2005 I found on this one's hdd :-)

Tivo In the post.


Sent on Parcelforce 48 hour delivery - but just missed today's (Tuesday) collection from the PO, so should be with you by COP Friday at the latest


Hope it's of some use.
