A Torx 10 and Torx 15 screwdriver and about 15 minutes.rac8006 said:what does it take to replace the disk in a tivo? What if you don't have the insertable card?
Feel free to send it to me.rac8006 said:Its a HR10-250. So I guess my best bet is to discard this unit and build a linux system to do this.
Thanks for your input.
When I look at this unit it has two cable connectors and one antenna connector that splits to what looks like two tuners. I know that this unit can record off ota signals. So I'm not sure what you mean by this unit does not have any tuners in it.robomeister said:Just FYI, all DirecTV Tivos or DirecTiVos record the digital signal directly from the satellite to the hard disc. None of the DirecTiVos have tuners in them. So it is a none starter for what you want to do.
However, I would suggest selling the unit on ebay. The HR10-250 is a highly desirable unit. Many here would like to have it, actually. (See Finnstang above.)
Good luck.
