I thought it was only Series 1's that shipped with a certain version of the
software initially? Or maybe they all do it, but the older ones do it with
less nags?

IMO, Tivo Basic is a better way to go for this application.

Yes, the version of the software that came with 95+% of the original
TiVos. Not too many Series 1 units were shipped with version 2.0 installed.
