I have seen a site before that details everything you need to do to upgrade a DirecTiVo...but I lost the link. I have the Hughes GXCEB0T and I want to make my upgrade as idiot prrof as possible. I have read Hinsdale's guide & it looks good, but I want to see some pictures of an open box DTV to guide me.

Thanks for the help!

Here's an article on Tom's Hardware as well on how to do this...

is my understanding:

"Note: This "how-to guide" is written for users of Single Drive Stand Alone TiVos. These instructions will NOT work for DirecTiVos or dual drive TiVo units. (It is possible to upgrade both the DirecTiVo and Series 1 Dual Drive units if you consult some of the resources that we give you in this article such as www.tivocommunity.com - Understand that this is beyond the scope of this article.) Also, this was written based on a Series 1 TiVo unit. We understand that it will not work with a Series 2 unit. The process is very much the same for the UK TiVo, but since we didn't have a UK TiVo for testing this process, we are unable to verify the results"

Oops. My mistake - I apologize profusely and will crawl back into the hole I came from. Next time I'll pay more attention to the topic before posting. Just trying to help....

Ed...with 4 replies (& two are yours), I'll take your posts with great appreciation since it keeps my thread at the top & I don't scroll to page 2 like a dork!

Seriously...thanks for the info!

Once you have the drive blessed and prepared, the installation of a second drive in a Hughes follows the same step-by-step procedure as the installation of a second drive in a Series 2 TiVo.

We have posted Series 2 Installation Instructions.

Good luck!
