Hiya peeps,

A few months ago my Tivo's hard disk nerfed itself. I spoke to tivo and
they
decided I needed a new HD, but it could only be fixed by sending the thing
back, and getting a re-furb for 80 beer tokens. Now I dont mind spending 80
quid on a new(ish) tivo as I've had a good life out of my current one but,
I
am wondering if its worth going to sky+ instead? Anyone out there used
both/got both that can give good for/against etc as I loved my tivo, and
I'm
starting to miss it after visiting the parents over Easter and seeing
theirs
again.

Or... does anyone know if its possible to clone a drive (off say my
brothers
tivo) and use that in my working shell of a tivo? I dont want to break the
law etc, does anyone know if my special "tivo code" is stored on
the HD or
in hardware? Or if I clone my bro's tivo, will I get his subscription
details etc conflicting?

Thanks in advance,

Jules
