Merry Christmas! I just got a TiVo Roamio Plus to replace my old Series 3.
The S3 had to be replaced because the network adapter in my S3 stopped working. That means the direct wired connection to my home network isn't working anymore. Which means I can't use that wired connection to transfer shows from the old DVR to the new DVR.
I was using a wired ethernet connection from my S3 to my home network. I'm not sure if getting a wireless adapter will work, because it's not the ethernet port that's dead, it seems to be the internal network adapter. If the network adapter was working, the transfer would be a piece of cake. But because the S3 seems to be locked in, salvaging my shows is becoming a bigger task than originally anticipated.
So... the mission, if you can help out, is to transfer a handful of shows from a network-denied TiVo to my brand new network-enabled Roamio.
Any thoughts? Suggestions? Warranty voiding excursions that require advanced technical skills?
I had two potential thoughts:
* If I pull the hard drive from the S3 and put it in an external storage device, can I just straight connect the old hard drive to the new TiVo and browse it for the shows I want?
* Or might I have to dust off my UNIX skills, pull both hard drives and do a massive file copy from hard drive to hard drive?
Any other suggestions?
