Changing Tivo "Name" in MRV

[Willager]

I have two DirecTV DVR39s and a Series 2 stand alone on my network with HMO and MultiRoomViewing on all three. Is there a way to change the way the tivos are listed in the Now playing screen? I would like it to read Den or Bedroom rather Than TivoDVR 121#############.Frankly when the two of them come up i can never remember which unit is which.

I've tried searching for this topic but have not been able to find any answers.

Thanks

set_mrv_name.tcl in the AIO toolset. http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?t=37602
NutKase bundles it with the superpatch too (which you had to have used).

I also have 3 DTivo (4.0.1b SuperPatched) and 1 SA2.5 unit. When I use the set_mrv_name_ADH.tcl script I can transfer shows between the DirecTivos but I can not pull any shows from the SA to the DirecTivos and I can not pull any shows down to the SA from a DirecTivo. I get the following on screen message...

Programs cannot be transfered from the xxx DVR onto the yyy DVR because the xxx DVR does not yet recognize the yyy DVR.

Have you purchased Home Media Option for both DVRs? If so, try connecting to the TiVo service from each DVR. If not, go online BLAH BLAH BLAH...

Tivo must lock MRV to a single account on paid subs. Since DTV does not offer MRV I can not add it to my Tivo SA account. Any ideas? I actully gave up on it a few months ago but saw this thread and thought I would add my findings.

You can't transfer between hacked and unhacked Tivos. If you want to move to and from the SA, you will have to hack it and not use the tivo.com site.

Thats pretty much what I concluded. I'm not willing to hack the Prom on my SA since its a 2.5. I will have to wait till another method is avail till I can swap shows.

Thanks for the confirmation fixn278.
