RE: UKHA 2003 - How about a Tivo Upgrade area

[Scott Crowther <scrowther@xxxxxxx>]

Tom this sounds like a good idea and I'm interested.

If I did decide to go ahead, I'd be prepared to accept responsibility for
my
own TiVo dying after installation, based on the fact that whoever does
the
install will be far more competent than me.

While we're on UKHA2003 suggestions, what about some sort of 'cabling
group'? ie - a way that we can find out who lives in our area (ish) -
maybe
we can help each other out with our individual expertise and pull
cables,
build servers, etc for each other.

Just 1/2p.

Subject: [ukha_d] UKHA 2003 - How about a Tivo Upgrade area

Hi guys

I'm coming down to the UKHA event in May - and really looking forward 
to it!

I was thinking that a Tivo hard drive upgrade area would be a useful 
addition to the event. 

If someone has the equipment to perform the upgrade, and individuals 
bring their Tivos and a new hard drive then I would imagine that 
Tivos could be upgraded relatively quickly compared to each person 
figuring out how to do it at home (and the risk of damaging their 
beloved Tivo due to inexperience!)

I'd be willing to pay for such a service! (or a donation to the event 
funds!) 

Of course this is subject to someone volunteering to perform the 
upgrades, demand from users and the agreement that if the Tivo breaks 
there is no liability on the person doing the upgrade.

I've passed this idea to Mark McCall and he suggested I get the  
opinion from the group. 

To gauge whether this is something worth pursuing we need an idea of

1) Are you interested in being able to get your Tivo upgraded at UKHA?
or
2) Would you like to volunteer to perform/supervise a Tivo upgrade 
process?


Thanks

Tom
