My "Tivo For Sale" Thread

Advertisements

There's going to be two of these in the next week or two.

The first one is my 'backup' unit. (Was my original unit!) It's a standard, un-sub'd box with no hard drive and only the remote control. The front is a little scratched. In fact, I just noticed that the remote is - un-intnetionally - covering quite a bad one.

I was going to put it on eBay but I thought I'd save the fees and ask on here first



Would prefer payment by Paypal and pick-up rather than delivery as I don't have any box big enough!

Obvously, offers by PM or email only. (Not expecting much for this one of course!)

The other unit will be a LT-sub'd one with a Terbonet card!

 

Sort of. I'm still a Tivo devotee, but eagerly awaiting the new version from VM

 

My second unit has a LT-sub and a TerboNet card in it. The cabinet is in better condition too Again, offers via email or PM.

Would rather not post but - assuming I can find a box - it will be £10. Same goes for other unit.



As you can see, this one comes with some accessories (mains lead, phone lead, 2 remotes) and the front is in better condition too!

Well I decided to go the "cold turkey" route and just 'clear and delete everything' without over-thinking it. I am now Tivo-less for the first time in around 8 years

Two Tivos still available. Will both be going on eBay shortly.

 

I could have, but Freeview's a no-go round here. Also, with up-to three tuners available (record two, watch one) there's no such thing as a programme clash anymore Plus my TV service hasn't had a major fault in three years; but thanks for jinxing it

 

Just thought I'd give this a bump.

Actually, I'm a little concerned. When Tivos come up for sale on here they're usually snapped-up fairly quickly. Not so in this case. I wonder why? Did I put people off with my descriptions or something?

I am happy to post them if I can find big enough boxes

 

You weren't kidding about the "small amount of money". Jeez! Fifty Quid? For a LT-sub'd box (so it's worth £200 at that!) plus a network card.

So... awaiting a sensible and more realistic offer. (Why do I have a feeling I could be waiting quite some time?!)

 

Yeah. Just wishful thinking on my part, I guess.

 

Because I had not, at the time, decided to decline the offer. I still haven't. I was just hoping to get a little more than one quarter of the cost of the LT-sub, never mind the larger drive and network card also in the machine.

I remind you that I did not mention any names. You did that with this post.

 

I wonder if I might get more for the individual parts - a 200GB hard drive and a network card - and just sell the Tivo itself for spares. It's a thought.

 

Yep. I decided to do that when dad decided that he may as well use the Tivo in another room than sell it for that price. So I removed the Terbonet card! It's on 'first refusal' offer to someone at the mo

 

So... anyone want an original TerboNet card?



£26 all-in. Payment by Paypal please. Dispatch tomorrow if paid today.

BEEN SOLD

 

I forgot to re-set the Tivo to use dial-up when I removed the network card. It doesn't reset it when I 'clear and delete everything', does it?

Looks like I'll have to have to temporarily re-fit it to sort it out then. Or remove the drive and use my PC I suppose.

Oh boll......

ETA:
If the driver doesn't detect the card, does it automatically fall-back to dial-up?
