Sad day selling my 3 Tivo's :(
Sad to see them go but we are having a loft conversion and need the room in the loft :/
Main tivo and two imaculate boxed spares all on ebay.
Have a virgin tivo now and apart from HD can't see much if any improvlement over the original. It's even worse when it comes to deleting stuff.
If anyone interested links here:
MOD EDIT: sorry - direct links now allowed

You could have used them for decoration or turned them on end and used them as shelf supports.

Sad, but I note from your auction description you say that you have to install the AltEPG image to use it - that's not the case otherwise the vast majority using the standard 2.5.5 image would have been really pissed off!
It's a 1-line change to a file to use the standard image with the AltEPG server.

I am using my 2.5.5 Tivo with the Altepg service and didn't have to do any file changes.

If you're serious about selling I'd suggest dropping the start bid down to something like 99p.
They're very unlikely to attract bids starting at £19.99, particularly when you look at the completed sales listings, many have final prices below your starting price.
You might have luck if you set a Buy It Now price, as you then get someone who's willing to pay a premium not to wait and have to bid.
Just friendly advice, I wouldn't be bidding myself. I've already got 3 Tivos - the last two of which each cost me a £10 donation to charity.

Thanks just came back to this, no free listing day today so had to list at 99p to get free listing. Sold a Little portable for 99p this week. Will be a shame to see these go to the tip.

Hi I have sold two and just my main one left.
I have also just found my Network card, is it straight forward to set up? (Putting the card in is the easy bit)

You don't mention the type of card but the AltEPG image probably includes the required drivers. With a standard image you can put the drive in a PC and install the required drivers, but if you need to do that it's probably as easy to reimage the drive with AltEPG anyway. Your biggest problem is likely to be finding a suitable PC (IDE only, no SATA).
Have you considered just listing the network card on its own? It's probably more in demand than the TiVo itself.

Hi I have a couple of PC's with IDE and have imaged a drive before, although it was about 5 years ago.
The Tivo I have when I power on searchs for a card. The card I have is a one from a guy on these forums was selling / making (from new zealand).
I might have a read and set aside a morning to get to grips with it all again.

Series 1 TiVo free to a good home
Spitfires (or anyone else out there)
I am clearing out my old tech, and have a Thomson TiVo to let go of (was working, but no HDD in it now. My wife still misses it's simplicity, but no digital, let alone HD have made it obsolete.
If anyone wants it to play with, they can have it for the price of delivery (or could pick it up from Kenilworth, Warks)
End of an era
Regards
Dave

Have you tried posting the offer over on the altepg.com forum? I think most of the active UK S1 people have migrated over there.

I think that is an anti-spam measure.

Hi Dave,
I'll take it off your hands if Spitfire doesn't want it. I can collect as I'm the other side of Cov from you.
Cheers.
