Ladies and Gentlemen both in Australia and New Zealand:

Today we reached a milestone.

In just under six weeks myself and what is amassing a small army of volunteers, along with others who have requested PROMs from myself and our NZ counterparts to DIY their own units, can announce the following......

Welcome to just over ONE THOUSAND TiVo's on the OzTiVo server and no sign of slowing down.

Well done to not only the volunteers behind the scenes but to all of you who showed faith that this can happen.

Onwards!

Hi I'm new to this forum. I would like to get a programmed PROM chip and socket, can anyone help?. I did email Darren King to (tivodoctor@gmail.com) but no replay.
Thanks Ossie

Be patient,Ossie.
I'm sure Darren will get back to you.Remember,he's very busy doing the Tivo mods and has full time job,family etc.
My dealings with Darren are he's quite amenable and has been very generous with his time.

I'm sorry, I didn't realise that Darren had so many Tivos to work on. He mentioned below that his reply bounced - I'll try to message him directly through this forum.

Thanks, Ossie

Yes well done to all!! A great milestone and a terrific effort!!

I'm also one of the lucky ones who have benefited and I am really grateful to Darren and the entire team behind the scenes.


I'm willing to help in any testing if required - I have a spare unit good enough for that (and HDDs of various sizes).

WOW, just Wow! I had no idea there were so many people who were so keen to keep them going. I think it say a lot about the tech savvy-ness (new word?) of Australians that we would take this challenge on. Next step - getting multi-room to work??

BTW my special thanks to Darren who gave me 3 chips gratis. Many thanks for your generosity.

I am another one that has got one of my Tivo?s Fixed with the patent advice from Darren. I have a second prom chip that Darren has supplied, I am working on my second. So grateful for the efforts of the team. Will help a couple of my friends next year with their Tivo?s. Thank you Darren for your infinite patents when I had troubles.:)
