ACkkkkk…….

This morning I had to delete three post. For some reason they wouldn't publish. I think it was the third one that was causing the problems. They weren't very good post anyway so I just deleted them. Anyway that's not really what I wanted to talk about anyway. This weekend I had to be at work all day Saturday, so I figured I would hack my Tivo. My Tivo has a 35 Hour (40GB) hard drive in it. Now you'd think 35 hours is more than anybody can use, but you'd be wrong. I need way more than the 35 hours. I wanted to buy the bigest one possible when I bough it but they were way to expen$ive. I think it was like $600 for a 70 hour Tivo at the time. So I took my Tivo to work and busted it open. I left my 40GB hard drive in there and added a 120GB drive to it. That took my piddly little 35 hour system to 146 hours. That's more like it. Now I can fucntion in my little Tivo world the way god meant me to. Now as far as cost.... well as far as I can tell I made out great. The Tivo was $130 and the hard drive was another $160, so that brings me to $290. That's alot of money but I looked online and the bigest Direct Tivo (directtv version) I found was a 60 hour system for $450. Image what they would charge for a 146 hour system. I think I made out pretty good... I also made a backup of my Tivo software. So if the hard drive ever dies I can replace it myself and not have to send it into the shop. So I feel I did OK for myself and had some fun with it at the same time.....
