    How to save my "now playing" list when installing replacement drive

    I just ordered a 320 gb replacement drive from WeaKnees. They're so helpful! I'm fine with reprogramming all of my season passes, etc., but will I lose my "now playing" list as well? Is there a way to store it somewhere to recover it once my TIVO is back in action? All advice is much appreciated!

    All of your shows are recorded on the hard drive. If you replace it, you lose them. If you have a Series2 or Series3 TiVo that is networked, you can move your shows to a PC before removing the old drive, then move them back after you install the new drive.

    To do that, you'll need the TiVo Desktop software (free) and you'll have to pay $25 for the Desktop Plus upgrade.

      I have a series 2. Thanks! So after the upgrade will TIVO make it somewhat obvious how to store the playing list on my computer?

        You have to move the NP list TO your computer BEFORE the upgrade, then move the contents back. You will want to visit TiVo's website for assistance and support.

        Here are some resources for you:

          Thank you sooo much. The link is great, advice has been rational and you are a great asset to an exceptional company. I can tell already. Once I've installed, I will happily buzz about you on Yelp!!!
