I have a question.

Will a hard drive from a Tivo Premiere work in the Premiere XL and vice versa or do they use different types of Tivo software?

Thanks...

No, since the service numbers are different as well as the models, a 746 vs a 748 (Pxl). The Tivo software is a bit different, although its not noticeable. It would also mean to run Clear & Delete Everything even if it worked.

It will not work as the guide data will stop downloading after the initial setup. This has been talked about before but i not going to search for that.

If I'm not mistaken the XL uses a bigger drive, so the right software may be expecting to be on a drive at least that big.

I was assuming the OP was going from a TPXL to a TP, but one would have the problem of the software not working in either direction.
