Hello guys,

I just picked up a SA Phillips Tivo the 14 hr one at a local pawn shop. Can someone point me in the direction of a "how to guide" I've got 2 Sony T-60 that I have put Xtreme2.5 on and was wondering if there was something out there as easy to use on a SA unit. I know I should upgrade the drive while I'm in there, but just want to use it in the kids playroom recording some daily kids shows and should not need more than 14hrs. Thanks in advance..

There is no upgarde to a SA Tivo comparable to 2.5Xtreme. Xtreme was originally developed to take advantage of the dual tuner function in a DTivo. The software version that was in place at the time was 2.01 or something in that area. The dual tuner feature wasn't activated until v2.5 was distributed. 2.5Xtreme enabled this feature prior to the official Tivo release of the software. To answer your original question, here's a some sites you'll want to check out for hacking a SA Tivo:

There are other links to good Tivo sites in my posts in the DirecTV Tivo Hacking forum on page 3 of the How Tos Only sticky thread.
