I had to snip away at the case to change the battery (otherwise I would have had to undo all the pieces of case twisted to hold the motherboard down).		#Change battery.

			==Problems==
			===SVR-2000===
			The Sony SVR-2000 is a Series 1 TiVo, meaning it can only network through a serial port as a modem, and runs up to version 3 of the software.
			Beginning in 2009, our 2001-purchased SVR-2000 started stuttering, including slight changes in playback speed between stutters, and now even stutters on programs recorded before the we first noticed the stuttering.
