I have replaced my UTV with DTivo. I have stopped service on the UTV. Is there a way to go back and clear the hard drive of the UTV without having service? I know there is some sort of code to do this but don't know if it will work now. I want to empty the hard drive to get it ready to sell.

I don't own a UTV, but the DTiVo has a clear and delete everything function. Maybe the UTV does too. If you cann still get into the menus, search for something that will do that. Do you still have the manual?

In "My Shows" at the bottom there is an "Erase Items" icon. You can go in and select "Mark All" and then "Erase." That should clear off your HDD except for the operating system.

Glad you are enjoying your Tivo! I'll be joining you eventually.

Thanks Karl, but that won't erase movie purchases, will it?

When UTV updated to 3.7, I thought there was an "Erase History" function, as well. I will check tonight, but under "My Shows" go to History and see if there is an "Erase History" button.

There is an erase history but I think he's talking about PPV purchases.
