Caller ID on HDVR2?

[cnsf]

I saw discussion on Tivocommunity how to have a Caller ID server and send the info to the Tivos over Ethernet.

Anyone know of a) an easier solution and b) whether an update is in the plans? I would think this is a software issue as the modem is already in place.

James...always a good source of info, thanks.

The top one isn't for HDVR2 unfortunately and the bottom one requires network connectivity, and creating a Caller ID server.

Any other ideas/info?

Did you try the first one or are you going off the fact it doesn't say it works. I bet it would work...

I'm worried about crapping out my Tivo if it's not meant for Series II. I usually see most "Adjusting" apps segregate Series I from Series II....

Where is you sense of adventure? Blocked by your common sense? :p

I already broke off two pins on my IDE connector on the main HD....luckily they were just the IDE activity light.

If I knew more about Linux, then maybe.....

I believe the series 2 are hack resistant (except for HDD upgrades). Therefore I don't think you can add caller ID to your HDVR2.

Too bad....
