[aclug-L] Re: On another topic - DirecTV TIVO

[ironrose <ironrose@xxxxxxx>]

The literature that I have read said that there are 3 versions of 
tivos.  The dividing line between V2 & V3 is a little blurry, especially 
since they have been rumors of financial problems.  Most and the older 
versions are made by IBM, some of the newer ones have been made by 
Phillips.  The older are suppose to easier to 'hack' -- the vendors have 
been trying to make hacking a little more difficult.  I think that they 
have misunderstood the people who buy them, and then want to upgrade and 
'tinker' with their hardware.  After all, the consumer did pay for the 
product.  The vendors don't appreciate that and it is their loss.  There 
is money to be made with repairs and upgrading--not much, but some.  It 
is definately not a means of getting rich quick.  ~Anne
