Tivo is great product that i find it. I want to test it with my Tivo HD, which, with a tiny built in 160GB drive, is in dire need of extra space.

I love this Tivo. Never miss anything! The TiVo service finds and records all your favorite shows, every time they're on, so you can watch them at your convenience. Whenever you turn on the TV, something good is on!

Catch every episode

The TiVo service gives you ultimate control over your TV viewing by keeping track of the latest TV schedule and automatically recording every episode of your favorite shows, even if the day or time they air changes.

I have to say, this logic only works when we're talking about drives intended for something other than DVRs, or drives from companies that do not have a reputation as a great hard drive maker,as Seagate does. The question is, why did TiVo stop testing CE eSATA drives after falling in love with WD's?

I will continue talking to both companies about this issue,because I feel strongly that the ban on Seagate drives be lifted here, especially for a totally legitimate means of adding extremely necessary additional ...
... storage.

All this does is promote hackery. Speaking of which, anybody got any good tips for hacking a Seagate DVR expander onto my otherwise awesome TiVo HD?

The TivoHD model requires the WD unit to be plug and play, but the skills to graft a non-supported drive on are minimal and easily found over at the various Tivo-oriented forums.

Having two or more TiVo DVRs connected to your home network gives you two or more times the viewing freedom. Record a show on one TiVo DVR and watch it on another in the house.

Start a movie in the living room and finish it in the bedroom!
