Question about the How-To Step 2 Part 6. From what I can tell, You connect up one of your PC harddrives in addition to the drive intended for the HDTivo, and...
Here's a neat mod that I really like: End Pad Plus. It allows "soft padding", where, if it can, the Tivo can add time before and after each recording. Here's...

Correction (of sorts) - if you are going to back up your Tivo, you WILL need a FAT32 partition on your PC's drive. If you are just doing the mods in Joe's...
