After 3.5 years of using TiVo, I’ve finally decided to crack open the case and increase the recording capacity.
I purchased my Philips 14hr HDR112 TiVo (the first model ever manufactured) from Fry’s Electronics in Sunnyvale on October 22nd, 1999. Today, Ariella and I schlepped out to Fry’s in Woodland Hills to purchase a Maxtor 120GB hard disk for the upgrade.
I’m three hours into the process and am finishing step 8 out of 11. I hope to finish before midnight.
Update (11:47pm): Whoo-hoo! I’m done! Just gotta put the cover back on and bring it back into the family room…
163 hours, baby. Nice.
Just thought we’d let you know about another TiVo Upgrade website with complete interactive instructions… for the next TiVo!
Here’s a link to the original upgrade service, http://www.ptvupgrade.com – please be careful when linking not to use the plural; that domain name was squatted on by one of our competitors.
