Tivo Cachecard: Is it worth it?
 

Can anyone tell me some successful installs on the Tivo Cachecard now
offered at http://www.9thtee.com/tivocachecard.htm? I am running the 32mb
(upgraded from 16) and would like to know if the cachecard is worth the
purchase.

In reading the forums on www.tivocommunity.com, it sounds like if the
install is not successful, then the tivo image may have to be restored. I
notice many posts where the install was not successful and users have had to
restore a their tivo drives.

I do not want to lose all my recordings and have to redo my Tivo again. I
am also running two 120gig drives and would like to save the recordings.

Thanks in advance for your replys,

Todd

The CacheCard should be considered a "beta" product right now, and this is
made clear in the various descriptions of it. Anytime you modify the disk,
you run the risk of doing something that requires restoration from a backup.
If you are nervous about this, then I would suggest holding off on the
CacheCard for now.

I am expecting my delivery of a CacheCard on Monday, but I will first try it
out on my secondary DTiVo until the kinks are worked out.
