Hey Milder,

One of my friends finally found some time to break out the fuming nitric acid...

Here's a teaser for anyone who's curious...
...

Edit: Whoops... I have *got* to stop replying to the wrong thread...

Would have... to date no one has used bitcoin for donations or rework services. :-P

Changelog?

Looks like someone finally came through and emailed me a bunch of photos of some Premiere 4 internals, and it still uses the same flash chip:
...

I have a good number of photos in the first few pages of this very thread... ;-)

Your post made me smile because I went through the same thought process last week and probably performed the same searches you did just now. :-)

So here I am looking for extra chips to decap and I come along this: http://parts.americaii.com/PartDetail/93d408ccfa082e0b01bcec0aab4539e7/BCM7413ZKFEB01G

According to their very professional and...

In case anyone was curious, we've now sacrificed a number of Premiere's while trying to extract hardware components for analysis.

This beaten and battered CPU is from number three:

The...

I'm *still* looking for high resolution photos of a quad tuner TiVo such as the Premiere 4, previously known as the Premiere Elite.

If one of you folk have these, please stop for a moment and post...

Google Cache still works. ;-)

Another possibility is not to worry about speed when in "ghost" mode or whatever we decide to call it. Since we don't really care about fast I/O during boot, we could use a cheaper, low-speed device...

It's interesting you bring this up, because this is precisely the type of device suggested by one of the other researchers back in 2010. Unfortunately, it seems that the amount of development that...

PM issues have been fixed.

One thing that we found during research in 2010 was that the new BCM7413 CPU has different security bits that can be set that enable or secure boot and disable the JTAG debug port on the board. One...

Before we start spending money, I'd like to continue bouncing around some ideas with the rest to see where money is most wisely spent. While the new quad tuner TiVo's do appear to have a completely...

Can I be frank with you for a moment? I think you're being a bit unfair to TiVo here regarding the "shadiness" of a lack of formal mechanism for recycling electronics. This is not a problem with...

How is your unit a scam? I'm not sure that word means what you think it means. ;-)

Seriously though, if your TiVo is hanging it's possible you have a failing hard disk. If it's a Series3, this...

Hey Lug,

I don't think lrhorer was trying to offend you or accuse you of anything. Rather the "theft of service" comment was in response to your desire to use the TiVo device without paying for...

If possible, can someone post hi-res photos of the internals of the TiVo Premiere 4? As much as possible. Ideally, both sides of the motherboard would be good but I'll settle for just the top for...

I'm still regularly seeing failed PSU's on TiVo HD's and Series3's. I'd say almost half of all the TiVo's I see today have either bulging or leaking capacitors. This problem is going to get worse...

Can I just ask an oddball question to folk here?

If anyone has purchased an new premiere within the last couple of months, can you please look inside and take a photo of the PROM chip inside? The...

I know this is probably a huge stretch for DDB, but...

I hate having to use my PC to easily reply to posts and PM's. There are a few apps out there such as Tapatalk or Forum Runner that allow...

Also, here's a bit of an odd question that I was asked.

Would I accept Bitcoin?

Sure, why not. If you want to pay with BTC the current price is 5.25BTC. :-)
