Direct Tivo HDVR2 250Gb upgrade

12-11-2006, 09:31 PM

Yes, I am trying to upgrade my Direct TV tivo HDVR2 model to 250gb by replacing the single 80gb drive witha single 250gb seagate drive. used the dd tool and it still says I have 69 variable hours frm the previous upgrade. How do I get by the 137 gb barrier.The software version is 6.2. Is instant cake my only hope?

You need a relatively new Linux boot CD with mfstools - ours will work. Then you need the expansion line:

Code:

mfsadd -x /dev/hdX

Change 'X' to your drive designation. That will add the hours.

Been here a long time . . .
