Hi,
I have a Sony SAT-T60 with software version 3.1.0-01-1-011. I have a valid subscription with DirecTV and I keep my phone line connected. I'd like to keep it that way, too :)
My goal is to add a second hard drive to expand the capacity from the existing 35 hours. I have seen a lot of posts on using Extreme images and other things of the sort, but I don't want to do that. All I want to do is get a bash prompt, add a drive, and go on with my life.
My question is this: In the Tivo hacking FAQ, it says that the DirecTivos have an issue that prevents any filesystem changes or the system gets stuck in a reboot loop. The suggestion is to take your existing drive, back it up, and then re-write a 2.0 image, flash the prom, restore a 2.5 image, and then make the change.
My problem with this is that I am now on 3.1. How can I accomplish this process with 3.1? Do I still have to restore the 2.0 image, upgrade prom, and then restore 2.5 (or do I retore my original 3.1 image?) If I restore a 2.5 image, will it confuse Tivo when it dials in that I am all of a sudden downgraded to 2.5? I want to avoid any situations where either the T-60 stops working or the dial-in Tivo service gets confused.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
shox
