Return of the TiVo

The new TiVo hard drive from WeaKnees came today. Before I opened the package I plugged the TiVo again, just to make sure that something weird didn't happen that revived the box in the last few days, but it continued to exhibit the same problem.

The WeaKnees package came with the wrenches necessary to open the case and remove the hard drive. I was able to quickly remove the old hard drive, install the new one and close up the case. I plugged it in and held my breath as I watched the "Powering Up..." screen come up. After a minute or so the "Almost there..." screen came up and I cheered! It was probably more relief at the fact that there wasn't another problem and I didn't just waste money on a new hard drive.

After going through the guided setup, the TiVo is up and running. Hooray! Hopefully by the morning the programming schedule will be filled out and we can go ahead and setup our Season Passes again (we had 40+). I'm excited about the extra space which I'm sure that we'll be able to keep busy as the Fall TV season starts.
