Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
This reminds me of the (one) time a similar issue hit the old Series 1. That was sorted in around the same sort of time-frame too

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
Can you transfer recorded content from Tivo on to a DVD via a DVDR? Thanks for any advice

My TiVo hard drive is getting really noisy now and recordings are skipping. If I phone VM and I need a replacement TiVo box can I back up my recordings, thumbs ups and wish lists?
I have the launch 1TB.

Its not possible, you will lose everything unless you copy your recordings in real time to a DVD Recorder via SCART

Damn that's gutting, should be a way for a VM engineer to back up your old box and transfer it to your new TiVo.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
I'm not sure cloud backup of whole drives will ever be possible, but I would hope that SL/WL backup might be implemented at some point.

Re: General TiVo Discussion Part 3
Hopefully Virgin will be looking into doing that at some point in the future. Gutting to lose your entire content. I so nearly did that the other week, went to do a restart and for some reason (I was half asleep) I went into reset everything. Luckily Virgin have that press such and such then such and such to go ahead screen otherwise I would have lost a lot of stuff.

Not to take the drama out of that - but that is exactly why the extra steps are there.

I know there's copyright laws around back up and copying data etc, but they could do it so just VM engineers can access it for when boxes break.

It's less about that and more about the fact that TiVo isn't desgined to allow a wholesale transfer from one box to another

Aside from the legalities, (a) it would take far too long, and (b) boxes are often replaced for faulty hard drives, so you couldn't get the data off anyway.
