Title: Message
Have a
look at the TiVo AVS forum. It is a really active group and provides
the
definitive answer on all things TiVO.
In
particular check out this thread which provides numerous links to TiVo
sites as
well as acting as a sort of FAQ
The
hack that John is reffering to is upgrading the HDD in TiVO to increase its
recording capacity.
Hope
this helps,
Mark
And what hacks might
these
be then John?
