In the literature, it says that the software will be upgraded and set "in 5 days after receiving the pack".
Will this only affect his Tivo, or the family one too? Wiping out all recordings and series link settings (there are about 140 on the family box)?

I had the 360 installed on both my boxes. So I would have thought the family box will be upgraded’ too.
Whenever you change the box or the software system, you will lose your recordings. I made a note of those I wished to retain, and added them to my watchlist when the 360 was installed.
It sounds to me that you will find the profiles useful. Bear in mind that your recordings will be shown on both boxes, but you will see where you left off only on your profile. So let’s say you are watching on your profile and ‘the lad’ is watching on his, you can pick the recording up where you left it on your profile, and ‘the lad’ will see where he left off on his. However, delete it and you’ve deleted it for all profiles.
That’s why it’s better to ‘add to watchlist’ rather than ‘record’ in most cases. It doesn’t matter if you delete a bookmark on your profile - the other profiles won’t be affected.
