Re: UKHA 2003 - How about a Tivo Upgrade area

["Tom Dubourg <thomas.dubourg@xxxxxxx>" <thomas.dubourg@xxxxxxx>]

Paul that sounds like a simple solution - and saves having to put the 
Tivo through the stress of transportation.

On returning home are these the only steps that would be required?

1) Take lid off Tivo
2) Plug in the new programmed large hard drive
3) Screw into postion
4) Replace lid
5) power up

Are there complications with using the original Tivo hard drive in 
parallel with the new hard drive? Are brackets required to mount the 
new hard drive in the Tivo (if so, perhaps another sales opportunity 
for Laser?)
