Turn OLD TIVO into manual recording DVR??

Sell it on ebay for over £200, and buy a DVR.

A friend of mine recently got a new tivo box, she upgraded to a new
system and her old, functional, Tivo system is still sitting in her
garage.

I'm wondering if there is some way I can make use of that box somehow.
What I would really like to do is figure out a way to set it up a
manual recording device. Something with VCR level functionality. I
don't need to have a menu of scheduled TV programming. There are only a
couple of TV shows that I watch with any regularity. I'd love to rig
this thing up so that it records 1 or 2 specific shows on a regular
basis, also, if I could get the "pause" functionity of a DVR to work
that would be cool.

Any idea how feasible this might be? I don't need a TIVO subscrip, I
wouldn't use anywhere near the standard features of a TIVO service. I'd
hate to have to pay for some service I wouldn't really use, or need.

Or use the proceeds to buy another one off ebay that has a lifetime sub.
