Ultimate TV (UTV) Hard Drive Upgrade

BubbaJoeBob writes: "I just read this thread over at the AVSForum that jeffm7 was able to upgrade his UTV 40GB drive to a WD 100GB drive. Other users are reporting that they were also successful using the WD 120GB drive." And aside from ending up with an apparently useless original drive, this sounds much less painful and involved than various homebrewed TiVO upgrades; according to posters on this thread, it's nearly plug-and-play (with a necessary download step in the middle).

    Shit, do some research. They tried it in the forum and it doesn't work.

    Instead of wasting your mod points on downgrading ACs, would you please use them to upgrade good posts? Remember that ACs start at zero, and most trolls are already at -1, so if the average uesr views at +1 (default) then they don't normally see this crap.

    I post this because I metamod a lot, and I get more dumb negative mods than good positive mods. Why waste points on obvious dreck? I have seen some great AC posts with great content, but no upmods at all. Look for those, that is what makes /. great, rather than wasting mod points on reducing tuesdaytroll to -4.

    Yes, this is off topic, and I'm going to get blasted out of my +1 bonus, but fuck it, maybe somebody will listen to me. Then I may get to read a nifty AC post with some info, rather than knowing mr. goatsex is buried 15 layers down.
