Tivo Upgrades

The modem in my Tivo died a couple of weeks ago. So I got a TurboNet. And since I had to open the case and backup my existing drive anyway, I decided to add a 100GB drive. My Tivo now has a recording capacity of 157 hours at Basic Quality, and 43 hours at Best Quality.

As soon as I finish running Cat5 I’m going to work on adding XML output to TivoWeb. Once that is done I might even get around to creating a .NET Windows Forms Tivo Manager…
