Combining TiVos

04-13-2014, 08:45 AM

I have a Tivo Series 2 40hr single tuner with lifetime service, but the hard drive has gone bad. I also have a Tivo Series 2 80 hour dual tuner without lifetime service. Can I just transfer the hard drive from the 80 hour to the 40 hour without having to do anything else to get a working box? Also, is there any way to combine these so that dual tuner and lifetime service are together?

Thanks.

Sorry, no, the software on these units is completely different.

So can I assume the only option I have is to take the hard drives out and copy the 40 hour one over the 80 hour one?

Thanks.

No, because the software from a single-tuner won't work on a dual-tuner.
