Since Slicer isn't available for a SAT60 (series 1 DTivo), can someone point me to the manual "slice upgrade" steps?

My Instantcake SAT60 now holds software version 3.5 (with hacks) and 3.5c is currently pending. However, I have upgradesoftware=false, so it won't take.

I'm happy with 3.5 but there are a couple of problems. From what I have found there is only one way to get around these issues and that is to upgrade software.

They are:

- nightly reboot at 2am - very annoying since I may either be watching live TV then or a recording may get interrupted. Also, cached program guide stuff appears to go away. (I've got a cachecard installed).

- Daylight saving time issues - these aren't occuring on the correct day and it takes "waiting it out" to get things in sync again.

If I can get around either of these problems without the sw upgrade, please enlighten me. Thanks!

Remove "upgradesoftware=false" from your bootpage parameter. From the Tivo:
#bootpage -p /dev/hda (make note of the entire line)
#bootpage -P "root=/dev/hdaX ...." -C /dev/hda (with all options except 'upgradesoftware=false' )
