  • HR10-250 hardware upgrade to use usb?

    I have a direct tv HR10-250 that has a usb port that is not connected internally so I am unable to transfer some of the shows I would like to transfer to dvd and free up some space on my tivo. I have read in a few places that direct tv had these models made without the internal electronics connected to the usb port that is found on the outside. Does anyone know if there are any exising kits available to upgrade this and solve this problem. It is very frustrating since I bought this a few years ago paying over $1,000 with the sales person telling me I could record to a dvd recorder.
    Anyway is it possible to upgrade to be able to do this? Please help!

    There are hacks around to do this, but they're very, very unstable. If this is a TiVo that you use for hacking and pet projects, by all means try this. But if it's the TiVo in your living room that you count on when you sit down to watch TV, then leave the stock software on there.
    Been here a long time . . .
