Advice on downloading websites?
 

I was looking at www.tv.org and http://tvadvanced.com. Anyone use them or something similar to it? I'm trying to get some TV shows that I missed and my 2 tivo boxes are filled already.

Do a Google search on their quotes from places like CNN. You'll find many sites with the exact same quote. Very fishy. I would stay FAR away.

For example:
http://www.google.com/search?q=%22by...+and+secure%22

get a bit torrent client like azureus. then go to isohunt.com and search for your tv shows...

you may need some special codecs to view the videos because it may be in divx or other format your video player may not have installed. in that case, google for klite codecs and install the free full pack. you'll be able to play practically anything in windows media player after that...

Agreed. The most popular codecs used are DIVX and XVID.

Azureus is a great client indeed. Stay away from BitComet - there are many trackers banning that client due to ratio (download/upload ratio) cheating.

And aside from isohunt.com there is always thepiratebay.org which is bigger.

There also several massive torrent sites from eastern Europe, but they are blocked from Canada and the USA. You'll need to go in through a proxy connection for those. arenabg.com is HUGE.

As for your TIVO boxes...most can just be popped open which will allow you to replace the hard drive with a much larger one. Third-party firmware may be necessary afterwards, but if you know what you're doing the only price is the new dirt-cheap HD from places like NCIX, TigerDirect, Newegg.

How do you clone the tivo HD to a bigger drive? can't do in Windows as I have heard that Tivo will not boot after if its connected and cloned in windows.

search for sleeper's iso.. that will lead you to many hacks for the tivo...

i know sleeper's iso is old and has been replaced by another method, but if you search for that, it will lead you to the newest method as well..

Thanks for all your advice!
I looked into upgrading the HD in my tivo box but apparently it's not as easy as said. I got my info from tivocommunity.com or something like that.

I'll look into sleeper iso and Azureus.
