I am wondering if anyone has tried 7.x or 8.x on a dtivo, not to record sat signal, but rather just to use the HME feature..

it's been tried.
Some folks on DDB ALMOST had 7.1 booting on a DTivo.
Was NOT trivial.

I just wish Directv would get back in with TiVo well enough for them to upgrade our boxes to have HME, etc.... I know, it doesn't seem likely at this point....

HDTivos have HME thanks to the Zipper, but I agree with you.

Have they even enabled networking on their units yet? Makes a lot of sense to make a dvr with an etehrnet jack and not use it, for anything other than a lint collector. Kind of like a bellybutton.

from what I can tell with Murdoch gone and Liberty Media taking over DTV, the NDS stuff is on a holding pattern. There was all kinds of stuff promised with DTV and Vista at CES last year. Nothing has happened yet.

A lot of HME apps work fine.

does HME work with 6.2 SD Tivos?

yep...6.3 was based on the later software versions that had HME support. But HDTiVos don't have MRV still. Instead you have to use MovieLoader.

Yes, the networking has been enabled on the H20.

I'll have to swing by the other site and read up on it,
