Re: Tivo to Tivo copying

Here's a question:

If I own two identical Tivos is it okay (technically, legally, and/or ethically) for me to take out the harddrive(s) out of one and copy them onto the harddrive(s) out of the other?

If this is okay can I automate the process so that it happens over the ethernet every night at a certain time?

I figure as long as I don't record any shows on the second Tivo I'm not violating any license agreement I have with Tivo and presumably this isn't any different than owning two VCRs and moving tapes from one to the other so the program content copyright holder shouldn't care.

This is no different than the extractstream argument. It is legal with standalones and illegal with DirecTV TiVo's.
