Series 2 Stand Alone

[Voodoo1]

I am a NEWBIE here... so be gentle. :)

How do I log into the infernal box?
I have Windows XP and I am unable to log into the box.
What do I have to do? Can someone help me please.

Do I have to do some outrageous upgrade to the box?

HELP HELP HELP...

Thanks,

Voodoo1

um, login? I assume you mean bash or tivoweb, or something similar. none of those things are on the tivo by default. there are instructions in the series 2 hacking forum on how to hack you unit to get bash.

EXCELLENT!

One thing though mrblack51...

I have my Tivo box hooked into my network and it was upgraded already to 4.0 something...

Does that mean that I have to downgrade my software on the Tivo?

Thanks,

you can either use the monte method to chain load your way into the 4.0 setup, or you can downgrade your box by re-imaging it with an older version. re-imaging will lose your shows

can you share with me how to chain load/monte the box?

remember im new. he he he!!!

search: monte

OK - After doing a lot of reading late at night on this subject

I have come to this conclusion: I will have to re-image it to get into my SA S2. Is this in fact TRUE?

If not, how the heck do I "use the monte method to chain load my way into the 4.0 setup" without having to re-image. I can't even telnet or login to the darn thing! This leaves me with the only option and that is to take the HD out and re-image it.

There has to be a better way mrblack51.

Thanks for the help and advice!!!!
