Noone will publicly tell you that, the owner and creator of InstantCake and DVRupgrade is a member of this forum. It's a worthy investment.

 

Just a comment - I have done the whole MFS tools and D/L of an image thing...and I have used Instant Cake. If your time is worth anything, go with Instant Cake. I couldn't believe how much easier and less time it took. A good use of $20.

Since it has TiVo Basic, you can use it without a subscription so its worth trying out.

 

Can't try it out without a HD.

 

Yes, I assumed the person had a hard drive since they are looking for a image for it.

 

No, you need a ide drive for that TiVo. Only the newer S3/TiVo HDs use SATA drives.

 

I don't think they make 1T IDE drives. In any case, 1T is an unbelievably large drive size for a Series II class TiVo: the equivalent of about 6T on a Series III TiVo if the user only records HD. You can get a 320G IDE drive for under $60. That's the way I would go on a Series II.

 

You could, but changing drives is a pain. I put 250GB in my SD-H400, and that was plenty, at least for me.

 

If you change out the drive all your settings (season passes, etc.) go with it.

 

You can do that. I think you'd find after a while it's easier to get a large enough drive to not do it. I transfer shows that I want to keep (if copy protection allows) to a PC then to a Windows Home Server. You don't have that option if using TiVo basic service on the Toshiba.

 

Installing a pair of 80s wouldn't be too bad a solution. Add a USB / Ethenet adapter, and you can use TTG to move any surplus to an external server.
