Picking Setup code for 2nd Tivo?

I just tried to add a second device with a different Unit ID for a second TiVo in the room. When I click OK to add the device, it says that the setup code is already in use.

How do I select a new setup code? Do I just add 1 to it? Are there others that should already be empty and not conflict in the future?

Thanks,
Dan

Duplicate the device, and change the setup code on the second device. Any number will do. Adding 1 makes logical sense.

A while back I tested having 8 DirecTV addresses. Requires 8 device upgrades with 8 different setup codes (all arbitrary).
