I have 3 hacked S2 DTivo's with MRV via Superpatch. I am switching to S4 Premiere's with Cable cards from Verizon. My question is, can I transfer content from the old hacked S2 DTivo's to the new...

The -r4 switch did it... it works great! Menus are like lightning and it reports 440 hours... all this for $199!! And now it's $10 less.

Thanks again to all of you for all your help.

DOH!

Bought it last week for $199.... thought i really scored.. i guess i did!!! 440 hours!!.... and now for $10 less... go for it guys!

Thank you for the kind words.... I am trying.

Here is where we stand now... I borrowed an completely stock 40 gig drive from a friend that also has a HDVR2. I did a straight disk to disk with all...

Sorry ....typo in my post.

I am running it with the drive connected to a pc and a mfstools boot disk.

I am running the right version mfs_info... it's gives me the expected results when I use...

I was able to get it to shrink with -f 539144.

I restored and expanded to the 500 gig drive.

Initialized the swap file.

And just for giggles ran mfs_tools -s against the new drive.

I get

Thanks... I download the right version and I am getting results.... however not the ones I want. I get a max fsid of 539144 and max size of 16mb... I don't think this will allow me to shrink the...

I must be missing something. When I do mfsinfo with the -s flag i get an illegal seek error. Without the switch I get a report of the mfs partitions. And it claims that it can be upgraded 3 more...

Having trouble with the -l 50. When I use that switch the image does not shrink to the needed 39 gig (So I can re-expand to 500... which is actually the reason for this exercise.) If I lower the...

OK... Here's what I did

I backed up my drive with the shrink option.

mfsbackup -f 9999 -6so /mnt/dos/62base.bak /dev/hdc

I then restored to the 500 gig drive, expanding the space and...

I just wanted to make sure. I had actually found that thread on my own, but I really appreciate the response.

I think I am going to take that route. My only question I have left is about the swap. How big should it be? Based on what I have read a 500gig drive would need a 250meg swap... but isn't there an...

Thank you for your kind words.

That makes sense. Is there anyway to determine what partition a recording is in? If there were recordings in the added partition would I just loose those recordings...

Thanks for the help. One more question. I thought I read somewhere that the shrink option could preserve recordings if they would fit in the factory partitions. Since my original drive was a 120 gig,...

I have a Samsung SIR-S4120R. Over the past few years I (with the help of this forum) I upgraded to 6.2 via slices, enabled tivoweb, HMO and all the marvelous hacks I could find. I am very happy with...

Watched it and all I got was a thank you at the end.

Yes gratis websites are legit. I got my ipod from them and am now working on a free Mac Mini..

But you will notice that posting such links are not allowed on this site. However I don't see the...

Sorry bout that.... the web site still had it listed as on when I posted.... didn't read the fine print..

DOH!!!!

I actually started with tserver before mfs_ftp... I was never able to get it working. I always got the message unabele to retrieve now showing list.

I fired up mfs_ftp and had no trouble...

I don't know why I am having this issue with ty & ty+ files. However when I download the tmf I am able to use tytools to save it as an mpg and I have the whole thing and looks perfect. I still don't...

I tried VLC and tystudio. The entire 1 hour is indeed there...however if I try to convert to mpg with tystudio or view with vlc, its very blocky and distorted. If I use tytools to convert to mpg it...

Best thing about it is that rebate is online, not mail in!

I am using WMP with the tyshow filters. Now I don't know if I am not getting the whole file or if I am just not playing the whole file. I suspect the latter in that the 1 hour shows are 1.2 gig... I...

I just used smartftp instead of wsftp to transfer a 1 hour program. File size was reported as 1.2 transfered 1.2 gig... yet when i play it i only get a little more that 30 minutes.

I am doing...
