Then maybe TiVo should take the hint!aadam101 said:Been discussed so many times....
Are you sure about that? I swapped boxes ages ago and do not remember that magic happening. And if it could, then there is not reason TiVo could not offer that feature in other situations.rainwater said:If you replace a TiVo on your account (an S2 or S3) with a new box (change the TSN from tivo.com that is), then your Season Passes will be transferred automatically. Otherwise, you are out of luck.
IIRC, that only works if you've changed your privacy settings to allow it.rainwater said:If you replace a TiVo on your account (an S2 or S3) with a new box (change the TSN from tivo.com that is), then your Season Passes will be transferred automatically.

Is that really called for? Do you really think that it's all that unhelpful for people to ask for features that they would like?Stanley Rohner said:Maybe you should take the hint that it isn't going to happen!

That's now that I was doing. I just wanted the op to know that there are probably 20 threads about this already that he is more than welcome to read.purefct said:If you replace a Tivo, the old Tivo can't transfer your SP since it's not on your account any longer! I've added a Tivo to my account and nothing transfers automatically from one box to the other. The only thing I know you can transfer is a recorded show, which brings up another item to want; have the two units recognize each other as secure, pass a security key between each other, then rather than translate the entire recorded show from one unit to the other, copy it instead. It should be just as secure, and satisfies the owner's need for instant gratification. C'mon, 40 minutes to transfer an hour show? Based on size, the file should copy in about two minutes.
aadam101, rather than putting people down, how about helping out? List the last ten threads where this was discussed, mention key players who are supporting a feature like this, help newbies learn something rather than quipping in such a vague manner you know something others do not. Help, don't hinder!
The only time this will happen is if you are Opt'd in (whatever that means, something to do with less privacy) and you replace the HD in your TiVo the servers will see that the SP/WL setup is different than what it thinks it should be and will restore the SP/WL settings. But it has to be the same TSN.danjw1 said:I just ordered my Tivo HD and I am not looking forward to moving all my settings over the the new Tivo.

even a Zen master with a big stick can bring you to enlightenment, as it is better to reproach the student the first time versus the 100th time.purefct said:Yeah, but ... you have almost 1,200 posts, he has less than 20 and I less than 100. If you've been that active you should be a vetran who can be a mentor, not a tormentor. Help, really help, and if we post 100+ posts without searching THEN be crabby..
