I recently picked up a series 2 dtivo, which has been upgraded, seems to work fine, except the parental controls were set, how do I get around them, I don't care about losing the programming on there, but do mind losing the upgrade, it has a 120G HD now, so I presume letting it call in and so forth would be 'bad'. (don't recall what software he used, but says it doesn't need to call as it is set up now)

It would be best to start from scratch and apply a fresh unhacked image to it, then hack it afterwards, so you know what hacks are on there and how they work.

Kids out there might be looking at this thread so I'm not going to post it here.
PM me to find out how to find the code.

all set with the parental control issue,

but now there are 'missing' local channels, am I stuck or will the unit 'find' them from the nightly downloads eventually?
