Add6x
From DVRpedia
Overview
Add6x (add6x.tcl) is for Series 2 DirecTv TiVos. It was originally called Add63 (add63.tcl) because it was for HD TiVo needing an update to version 6.3, but has since been expanded to non-HD DirecTv units as well. This script grabs the latest software upgrade slices for your TiVo from the satellite download steam and copy them to your drive. You can then manually upgrade your TiVo (using instructions on this page) to the latest software version without having to connect a phone line call-in to DirecTV to activate the upgrade.
