Except for programs that your cable company marks as copy protected it will work fine. You won't be able to transfer those shows to your PC in the first place.
Saving shows with Tivo Desktop...
I am considering buying a 2TB upgrade drive for my Series 3 from "dvr-dude" on ebay based on positive reactions here on this forum and ebay feedback.
I have done upgrades in the past for both my Series 3 (to the current 1TB) and my older Series 1's. But since no one else seems to know how to get a 2TB to work on a Series 3, I thought I'd take the plunge.
However, I'd rather not fork over the extra $50 for them to copy the recordings of my old drive to the new one.
I regularly copy shows to my PC using Tivo Desktop, and re-upload later.
My question: would I be able to back up my unwatched shows from the old HD to my PC, and then reload them to the new HD? Or will I get a copyright error, or something like that.
Anyone ever try something similar? I guess I could always watch the remaining unwatched shows on my PC after the upgrade.
