Upgrade an upgrade?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

I have upgraded both of my DirecTivo units. Luckily, both my Hughes and the Sony SAT-T60 were single drive units, so I added an 80 gig drive to each one to bring them to 108 and 106 hours respectively.

My question: Since I have a backup of the original A drive from both units before I did the backup, I can take that image and use it to upgrade again in the future, right?

I mean... if I decide to purchase a couple of 120 gig drives and pop both of them into one of the units, I can do that since I have the original backup, right?

I know that I would lose all of my recorded shows... not a problem. I was just checking to make sure that I could do the upgrade in the future.

Yes, as long as you can restore your backups, you're OK. Just make sure you don't get them confused...

I thought about that when I did the backups, so one is named tivo.bak and the other... tivosony.bak. :)
