Model: Hughes HDVR2
Software: 6.2a-01-2-151
Kernel: Version 2.4.20

What I wanted: Upgrade 30G drive to a 220G drive and the ability to transfer files from TIVO – PC and then PC-DVD.

What I did:
1. Used http://www.newreleasesvideo.com/hinsdale-how-to/index9.html to upgrade the drive and retain my existing recordings.
2. Read forums and decided to use http://www.mastersav.com/tivo_zipper.html to install hack and features. *note: deviated slightly by using the image created from step 1 vice purchasing a new image. All other steps followed exactly.
3. Used http://www.weethet.nl/english/tivo_extract_videos.php to install tserver(TSERVER_Series2_MIPS) and tytools10r4.

Status:
The unit is networked, Tivowebplus works great and all features that I have used via Tivowebplus have worked, I can use http://www.gotomydvr.com/ and log into my unit fine and use all features.

My problem is in the TIVO – PC transfer I cannot turn off encryption. I believe now, that during the Zipper process I missed the fact that the super patch did not work. In attempt to remove the encryption I tried to rerun the super patch independently and it reported that it was unsuccessful and was not compatible with 6.2a-01-2-151. I also followed Alphawolfs patch and used a HEX editor to verify the change in tivoapp. Tivoapp was successfully changed but checkcipher reports that encryption is still enabled. Is my problem the fact that I have 6.2a vice 6.2? And is there any way home from here? I appreciate any help.

1) The tool you used is not to be mentioned here - if you have a question on what it did or didn't do you are suppose to ask those questions in its thread at TCF.

2) There is a superpatch for 6.2a - it's in here just search for it

3) If you did do things correctly - the shows that were recorded before you hacked would still be encrypted.
