  • Tivo upgrading questions

    Hi, I am thinking of getting a new tivo HD and had a few questions if I may?

    I have about a few series 2 boxes and the older 160 gig series 2 in the living room. I figure on getting a series 3 with HD for the living room but after reading a few of the forums to "upgrade" my or a new tivo I am not sure I can do it.

    One forum says I need software to copy the old drive to put it on the new bigger drive. And that I need to attach my new HD to my pc to copy it... but I do not think I have a second hd slot to temp add it to my PC to write to. But I do have a USB HD enclosure kit I can put it in to write to. Will that work at all?

    Also I do have H D Direct tv in the living room and mostly the tivo series 2 records fine on it. Most channels say H D when recorded but the only shows I have any trouble with is the sunday night shows on FOX such as Family guy and American dad. The screen will pixulate at the bottom and stick for a second on the recordings. Im just trying to figure out if an H D tivo is worth it if thats my only HD trouble.

    None of the free upgrading tools that we are familiar with work with USB enclosures. Sorry.

    If you've got an HD TV, you should get an HD TiVo - you'll see a world of difference. Just having the HD logo definitely does not mean the version you are watching is in HD.
