I bought a bigger HDD for my DVR-810H (hasn't been delivered yet) and I'll be transferring the OS to the new drive myself. Was on the Weaknees site getting the instructions and noticed that 2 torx tools are needed. However, these instructions seem to be for the Humax and Toshiba DVD units specifically (there doesn't seem to be a dedicated Pioneer set of instructions). My question is: does the 810H require these 2 torx tools as well or is it all phillips heads in there? I don't want to open up my Pioneer unit yet and need to know if I should buy these tools on the way home from work. Thanks!

AFAIK all Tivos use Torx screws for the top cover and drive bracket. You can pick up a set of screwdriver bits pretty cheap that include the bits you'll need.

Having upgraded several Pioneer TiVos (see sig), I can say without a doubt that you will only need a phillips head screwdriver. You will not need a torx 10 or a torx 15 tool.
Good luck on your upgrade.

Thanks, robomeister! This will be my first TiVo upgrade and I'm hoping it goes smoothly. :)
