It had been cycling through the start-up sequence for three days. I asked if I could put a 20TB hard drive in it and he said no, so the 1TB drive will fill up and I will continue to move programmes from it onto my external recorder to make room for more on the V6. If it had a 20TB drive in it then I would not need to use the DVD recorder. 100 hours is not enough storage, but 2000 hours would be plenty. Re: New v6 box for old? No it is not illegal!. I used to have a video recorder and recorded from the TV like millions of others, then used a DVD recorder. If you think it's illegal then send the police to my house. Re: New v6 box for old? No I don't have a 500GB Tivo, it's a V6 and I can archive programmes from it. New v6 box for old? My V6 box has packed up after many years. I have a technician coming to look at it, but if he replaces it, will it be with another V6? I don't want another type as I can copy recordings from the V6 to an external hard drive recorder which I take with me to watch when I am away from home which is often, and I don't know if recordings can be copied from the other types of TV boxes.
