hack my hr10-250 w/ 6.3a

[wbrault]

Hi guys, I found a useful thread but it seems its for 6.2 and it has 250+ pages, its alot to go through, I hope you agree. I don't get alot of time to go through all the threads. I was hoping I could get pointed to one place that has all the tools, literature Id need to do this.

I basically want to be able to do a few things.

1. networking ability
2. caller id
3. I saw a web based tivo I could manage on my pc
4. Possibly pull videos off of my tivo. Mainly HD videos.
5. anything that is recommended.

I would recommend you purchase, download and burn PTVNetHD ($20.)

It will give you everything but #4 which can't be discussed here.

I tried "The Zipper" but it didn't work for me; PTVNetHD worked like a champ.

First thing that you need to do is zipper the drive. Which can be found in the "Hacking your DTivo Series 2" thread here in this forum. Once you have this done and everything loaded. Here is the easy way to manually upgrade to 6.3a (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?p=4453197&&#post4453197) with step by step.

Once you have done this you should be right at where you need to be for all except #4. Wish I could help you more but I haven't even gotten that far ;)

Thanks guys! To bad I have to head out to work, but I got the whole weekend ahead of me to do this.

Thanks again for a bump in the right direction.

IS there a list of wired ethernet adaptors that are available for purchase right now for the HR10-250?

I put a link in the Zipper instructions.

[wbrault]

The Zipper instructions has a section on hacking an HR10-250 from scratch. It suggests using a tool called the slicer to upgrade from 3.1.5f to 6.3, which I found to be easier less error-prone than doing a manual upgrade to 6.3. I just ran it, and I was done.


confused about this, why would I need to upgrade when the system is already 6.3a?

sorry if its a silly question, i just dont understand

[vMAC]

You don't; we obviously didn't understand your question. All that you need to do is zipper the HD in the Tivo and you will get all of those things you asked about.
Which can be found in the "Hacking your DTivo Series 2" thread here in this forum
