I've been out of the DTivo hacking scene for quite a while...my old HDVR2 has been running fine by booting 3.1U5 and monte'ing into (the version before 4.0--I don't remember the number it's been so long!). My question is...

I'm moving and have the option of signing up again as a new DTV customer as my contract expired long ago. I imagine if I do, I'll get the latest box (R10?) and software version (6.2?). Is there any advantage in sticking with my old HDVR2? I have it connected to my home network and I run msftp on it to pull shows off. I would like to get the feature of folders but don't want to give up my hacking options. I've heard about MRV but don't know much about it.

thanks!

This is a newbie question. I would stick with the HDVR2. You can upgrade it to 6.2 and have your hacks working. The R10 needs a prom mod to enable hacking.
