gwyrdd benyw's Journal: Tivo Log: Tivo purchased

After watching ebay sales for a few weeks and getting a feel for what models existed and what the market price was for each, I finally made a purchase (my very first ebay purchase, even):

TIVO CASE HDR212 NO HARD DRIVE MAKE YOUR OWN!

It's being shipped to Seattle as the Canadian shipping rate from this vendor is absolutely horrendous. I'll pick it up next week when I'm down there seeing Parcifal at the Seattle Opera.

It doesn't have a hard drive, so I'll have to get one separately and format it appropriately. Julian and I figured that since he needs a larger drive for his PC anyway, we'll buy him an 80 gig drive and I'll take his old 30 gig drive for the Tivo.

To do:
- get Tivo from Seattle
- buy new drive for Julian
- format drive and put OS on it
- etc etc
