Series 2 Dtivo's are easy assuming you don't have the R10, the others are fairly straight forward with mod's done on the software, the R10's require prom replacement and that can be a bear if you aren't talented with hardware mod's not to mention expensive.

The search function is your friend.

Does the R15 have the same problems with the hack as the R10?

the R15 isn't a TiVo.

the R15 isn't a TiVo.

So the answer is yes, it has the same problems as the R10, in that with both, you can't do these hacks without first doing something else. For the R10, that "something else" involves replacing the PROM. For the R15, that "something else" involves throwing it out the window and replacing it with an actual TiVo unit.

But cannibalize it for it's 160 gig HD first. :)

Great respnose on the R15, thanks!

It was "free" so that is an option I guess. I have ended up with a Series I, Series II, and an R15 that I would love to all get together, but I guess I need to plan the hardware better.
