    There is no menu item for it, and kickstart does not work.

    It appears to have been pulled from our current version of tivoapp.

    Unlike the US, all of our units are sold as 'lifetime', but they are going to charge us for software upgrades.

    So the initial release is actually crippled compared to US releases.

    It's extremely easy. I am a novice and check my results - http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb...d.php?t=412679
    I'm not keen on pairing drives in a TiVo if it can be avoided. It doubles the chance of you losing a drive, and if you lose either drive you loose a lot of content due to how the data stored across the drives.

    I'm happy with a single 1Tb or 1.5TB drive.
