I still use a semi antique Tivo 500GB (complete with scart socket) which has actually served really well but has several limitations e.g. no 4K BT sport etc. I've found it useful as I distribute the signal around the house via the scart output but I feel I should move on and see if VM feel the same (assuming I can negotiate a decent deal with them in the next few weeks).

I have a fair bit of content on it that I would really like to retain. I seem to remember there is a way of transferring it on to a new machine. Have I imagined this or is it possible to do. If it is possible do I get to keep the old machine to perform this task? I can't imagine an engineer hanging around while I faff around transferring gigabytes of content.
Thanks.
