Hacking the TiVo

Hacking the TiVoLast Christmas (2002), I received a little black box called a TiVo and it totally changed the way I watch TV (I know, I sound like an ad, but it’s true!). Exactly one year ago today I posted to this blog about it.

Now, one year later, my TiVo is a little bit cooler. For Christmas this year I got William von Hagen’s “Hacking the TiVo” book. After reading it through, I was able to upgrade my 40hr Series2 unit to 140 hours by replacing the stock 40gb hard drive with a new 120gb one. Not bad for about a $100 upgrade and three hours of my time.

As always, the TiVo Community Forum is a great place to go for more information.
