Recovering deleted programs-Can it be done?

[BobM2208]

Is there a way to recover a deleted program? I realize that I could take the hard drive out of the unit, plug it in to my Macintosh and run a wonderful file recovery program I have. However, I would prefer to not do that.

If anyone knows of a way to do this "natively" I would appreciate knowing.

My unit is a Philips series 2- DSR-708. The software is version 6.2-01-2-301

No, unless you have the unit hacked already with TiVo Web and some of the other utilties.

And your Mac's file recovery program wouldn't be able to recover the file either...

The show's really aren't gone, right after you delete them anyway.

The TiVo software just doesn't let you see it.

It could be there months from now, depending on how much you record.

Too bad we don't get the undelete function like the SA S2 TiVos.

Here's the keystrokes I used on my sat-t60:
1 go to now playing list
2 Select show and start watching
3 Anytime in show hit List on remote (goes to now playing list)
4 delete show just watched
5 Press Guide button to go to live TV with channel list displayed
6 press Guide again to clear channel list
7 press display to bring up channel banner
8 down arrow to the bottom icon that is the message waiting icon
9 hit select (goes to messages screen, mine currently displays no messages)
10 left arrow from here as if going to a previous menu
11 deleted show now starts playing at point list was hit in step 3

I've repeated this multiple times on my unit with various shows. I did notice that it is specific to hitting the guide button and not the Live TV button in step 5. The Live TV button appears to clear the show from whatever buffer its in.

Also this only works if you just deleted it, not at another later time. Sorry

No idea if it works on anything but sony though.
