I took advantage of Fry's Electronics weekend sale on the Mastor 500-GB drive yesterday for $190. I am wondering now what swap-partition size this drive needs...
I believe the basic rule of thumb is to set up 1MB of swap file for each GB of drive capacity. In your case you'd need a 500MB swap file. Use the -s switch...
Thank you, Captain, for your very instructive repply. I got everything ready to setup the 500-GB Maxtor drive, but, unfortunately, discovered that it was a...
I had no idea that the PATA-SATA adapters had come down so much in price. In a www.cyberguys.com catalog, they cost about $59! I wonder whether the 10-250...
There's a guy over on dealdatabase using one to connect an external array box, see links below. The last update I saw he was still working through the MFS...
I got a PATA-SATA adapter from www.newegg.com for $10 plus tax and shipping (total of $15.72) and it was just delivered to me. Now another question comes to...
I just now can afford to purchase a HD recorder so I've ordered DTV HR10-250 which should be here this week. I'd like to add a second HDD naturally..what...
Personally I would advise against a second drive. The HR10-250 runs rather warm as it is without a second little oven spinning away inside. Plus, in a ...
Get the enhanced boot CD from ptvupgrade. It costs $5 but it contains the killhdinitrd'd kernels required if you ever decide to hack the HDTivo. The Tivo...
I run dual drives in all of my DTivos (both standard def and HD models) and never had a problem with heat in all the years I've been using them (six years and...
I've used the bracket from weaknees.com and it comes with a second cooling fan. My HR10-250 runs cooler with two drives than it did with one. Jon _____ From:...
From: captain_video2 ... Not always an option, though...at least not for us married types. My HR10-250 sites in an a/v cabinet, along with an SD-DVR80, my...
I just completed a backup from my original IDE (PATA) drive our of my HR10-250 to a SATA drive. The mfsrestore command was the same as what the guides say to...
Hi. Sorry for the delay in a follow post, but I was on vacation in FL for a while and am just getting back into the swing of doing this. Okay. The HR10-250...
I'm not sure if this applies to saving HDTivo files to DVHS but it was necessary to save HD files as .ts streams for further processing to DVD. When you save...
Thanks, Chris. I think that the adapter I got is not what I thought I was going to get: it does not work as an interface between a SATA drive and the PATA...
Hi captain_video2. Thanks for the suggestion. I'll update after I give it a try. Thanks again. Ben ... was ... click ... the ... Mbps ... unless ... player ......
Hi. Here is where I am so far. So I change the bit rate to 15 Mbps in VideoRedo as suggested by captain_video2. But still no luck getting the .ts stream on...
Ok. So over the weekend I did have success with the OTA content I extracted from my HDTivo to my Panasonic DVHS. I converted it with VideoRedo at bitrate of...
Glad to hear you're making progress. I see you've discovered that OTA and DTV HD recordings on a HDTivo are not exactly the same. This is a dilemma jdiner...
Agreed -- OTA HD is a whole different kettle o' fish from the stuff received by the birds. (Different rez, different bit rates, etc...not to mention all of...
Thanks guys. If I don't resolve this issue soon, I may just bite the bullet and get one of those AVeL Linkplayer2. It cost less than a new DVHS or a dedicated...
I am still very happy with my LinkPlayer2, these days I am using it mostly as an upconvert-over-component DVD player (newer firmware disallows this feature,...
Hi Henry. Thanks for the input. What version of the firmware for the LinkPlayer2 are you using? I may need to check this out before buying. By the way, its...
My firmware version (at the bottom of the first setup manu screen says it's 11-36-051215-02-IOD-234-000 - I think the 051215 part probably means Dec 15 2005....
