tivo old to new question?

[BIGDOGDAVE]

I know I should have read more but DTV is coming in the morning and setting me up for locals which will require another dish pointing at a different satellite and 4 new receivers to replace my older Hughes, 1 of which is a tivo Hughes, it has a 120 gig hd and lifetime, they said they will replace old receivers free of charge including 1 tivo but I hate to give it up for a basic non-lifetime 40 gig hd here is the question, if I remove Hard drive from my GXCEBOT and after install in to new tivo will I have a problem. if this is a dumb question sorry.

:confused: BDD

You can extract the shows from the old Tivo and reinsert them to the new one, after hacking it. You can, of course, reuse the hard drive, too; but you'll have to reimage it with the new unit's software.

IIRC, lifetime attaches to the account with DirecTivos, so it should still cover the new unit.
