What is the easiest way to transfer movies, etc. from a 10-250 box to an HR20? My 10-250 which is now in a closet has a number of movies and concerts on it that I would like to transfer to my new HR20.
Can I connect the 10-250 to a tv as another input and watch what the tivo has recorded?
As long as you are still paying for the service on that box. Otherwise it won't let you watch them.
Actually, that's not true. You can still watch the recorded content. When we moved we had to wait several weeks for an installer to come out and install a dish at our new house and we were able to watch the recordings on our HR10-250 during that time.
Yes, but you were still paying for the service on the machine. If you hadn't been they would have disabled it. At least that is what I have been told.
This also will not work with the HR20.
I tried awhile back to set up the HR20 and play shows, without the sat set up yet and was unable to get past the set up screens (looking for sat) unless there is another work around that I am not aware of.
This is unfortunate as you use to be able to a lot of things with old rec's, like using the OTA tuner, but not anymore.
