hi guys-

i have a two questions.

1) can i add a bigger harddrive after installing "superzaps 3.1 tivolator Upgrade including xPlusz". i already have xtremev2.5 on my system, but only the original harddrive right now (40gb). i'm gonna add a 120GB pretty soon, so i want to know if its possible to run tivomad after i do the upgrade. is there a special version of tivomad i would have to run?

and

2) i know if i use xPlusz's NOPHONE hack then my tivo box shouldn't be calling out to anyone. i'd love to use the caller id hack, i think its a great idea, but i'm still paranoid about plugging a phone line into my tivo. is there any kind of a hardware phone filter that i could plug into the back and it would restrict or stop all outgoing calls? that way i could feel a little better about it, kinda the belt and suspenders approach i suppose. any suggestions are appreciated.

thanks for the help. tivo is great and the people around here make it so much greater!

1) If you haven't already run DTiVomad then it might be as easy as blessing the new drive and installing it. Otherwise see this http://www.newreleasesvideo.com/hinsdale-how-to/

2) Add a toll call restrictor available commercially or add the resistor as mentioned here http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=12183
I think adding a bogus dial prefix into the Phone Dialing Options menu should also work.
