Any way to xfer programs from one Tivo to another through backup/restore?

[kwadguy]

I have a Pioneer/Tivo unit with a lot of programs recorded on it, but only Tivo basic. I also have a Pioneer/Tivo unit with Tivo Plus but nothing yet recorded on it. Is there any way to do some sort of backup/restore that would put the recorded programs on the Pioneer/Tivo with Tivo Plus? As far as I can tell, the answer is no, since you need to do a delete everything operation to initialize the serial number after a restore of a Tivo image from a machine other than the one it's going to be used on.

But I figured I'd ask just to confirm my understanding.

I don't know of any way.

No. The recordings would be encrypted tot he particular mainboard. Plus doing such would be considered extraction here, perhaps.

Use TiVo to go in both directions may be a way.

It needs subbed though to use TTG or MRV.
