I looked around, but didn't really find specific answers to my questions, so apologize if something is in fact out there.
I've got an old Sony Series 1 Tivo that I think is 3 or maybe 4 years old... losing count. I noticed on Tivo's Website they have a 40 hour series 2 for $30 after rebate. Thinking that this Tivo is getting long in the tooth, plus wanting a Tivo in the home gym is making me think about picking one up. I got a couple questions though and hoping someone can shed some light on them...
#1 - HD Upgrade. I've got a 100 GB drive in the old Tivo. Could I just clear out all the shows on the old Tivo, and put that drive in the new one? Or do I have to do something with the drive?
#2 - I think I can, but just to be sure, can the old Tivo still be used without the guide?
#3 - The $30 deal includes a commitment of 12 months of Tivo service. Just curious, has anyone tried to talk Tivo into letting you get two machines with a single 24 month commitment?
#4 - Eventually I'd like to get a second series 2 machine so I can share shows between machines. Do both Tivos need to have a Tivo service to do this?
Thanks!
