Add GXCEBOT drive to HDVR2

08-02-2008, 02:22 PM

I just got an HDVR2 Directv/tivo box to replace a GXCEBOT that finally gave up the ghost. The hard drive in the GXCEBOT is still good and there are some programs on it that I would like to save. Can I add it to the HDVR2 as a slave without losing the programs? What would I need besides torx drivers and a cable?

If adding the old drive is not an option, could I mount it to a Mac (OS X 10.4) to get the video?

Thanks,

G

Unfortunately, you can't do it. You can't use the drive in the other unit, and you can't access the content in any TIVO other than the one that recorded it.

Bummer. Thanks for the quick reply.
