Dual Tivos - talking together

[DavidClarke]

I gather there is a way for 2 x Tivo's to "cooperate", share the recording and make the content from one available to the other. I assume this is what people with Multi-Tivo setups are doing.

My plan is to build a Pal unit from a US Philips, get it to record free to air and leave my existing one to record Sky digital. One in the lounge and one in the bedroom...

Is this a dream or can the ty files be sync'd and the tasks be shared?

Cheers / Dave

Yeah, I've been wondering about this too... is the conflict resolution system automatic and invisible once set up?

There are various way to do it, conflict resolve with this tivoweb module (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=138225) not entirely automatic..

For more advanced users...

To stream shows from one tivo to another, or tivo to PC use MFS-FTP (http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?t=21915)
Also a patch for mfs_ftp (http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?t=32184) which allows TiVo to TiVo transfers to be initiated from within the TiVo interface

Or HMO Hack for Series One units (http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25139) (Other Home Media)
Warning there are some limitations with this one since the project was abandoned..

Read this forum (http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=48) for insertion, extraction, streaming

Is anyone using this on a NZ Thomson or 2.5.5 version?
Is the mwstate bug still an issue?
Is it working on the current version of mfs_ftp 1.2.9P?
