Two series 2 tivos, can I move hd from one to the other?

08-04-2008, 12:00 PM

Hi,

I have two series 2 tivos, both humax model t800. One of them seems to have a bad serial output for cable box tuning. The other has a dead hd.

Can i move my good hd to the good tivo by just swapping drives?

Thanks,
Rick

Yes, but after the move you have to choose 'clear and delete everything' in the system reset menu.

I switched a "new" hard drive from a humax series 2 I bought on line and put it into my Humax drt800 with dvd burner (the one I bought on-line didn't have a burner). Even with the "new" harddrive, I can't get past "Welcome, powering up," screen even after the reset 57 attempt. Any idea

You cannot put a drive from a T2500 or T800 into a DRT800. The OP asked about moving a drive between two T800s...that's different.
