Easy to Install, works great July 30, 2010
C. W. Phillips (Ormond Beach FL USA)
I got this for a DirecTV DVR/Receiver. It comes with an E-SATA cable so there's nothing else to buy. Installation is a no-brainer. Power down the DVR/Receiver, plug in the DVR Expander, power it up and then power up the DVR/Receiver. I don't know if it works this way with Tivo DVRs, but on this one the use of the internal hard drive is lost when this drive is added. That means anything you have on the internal drive is lost once you install this one. I knew I would lose any recorded programs on the internal drive, but also found out I would lose all of the programming set up for future recording. I've only had it for a few weeks so can't say about reliability, but it works flawlessly and is quiet so I'm very happy with it. I can now hold about 200 hours of HD programs.
TiVo drive expansion works seamlessly July 25, 2010
J. S. Peterson (Suburban Maryland)
Just what I needed and it works perfectly. Installation takes a couple minutes and you have to read through the TiVo instructions, which are easy. Pop-up screens lead you through to verify your intention to sync the drives (which you are warned will likely erase most (but not necessarily all) recorded stuff already on your TiVo, but it works great. Very quiet, too. Install and forget.
 TIVO AND WESTERN DIGITAL SHOULD GET ACT TOGETHER July 20, 2010
Frank C. Panetta
When I receieved this item, I was extremely excited. I couldn't wait to hook it to my HD Tivo. After hooking it up exactly according to directions (it's only the order of hookup)...Nothing. No recognition, no eSata expander recognized. But wait...there are all these Tivo compatible stickers. It must be a mistake or defective. After calling Tivo and trying a secondary way to boot (hold down pause + hit this & that), still NOTHING. No recognition of the device. The bad news from Tivo was that they despite the stickers, it wasn't on the list of compatible WD expanders. WHAT???? IS THIS A CRUEL JOKE? I'd like both their stocks to tank or worse. This is my last Tivo. Tivo for excluding regular external drives and forcing us to buy WD, and WD, for SAYING IT'S COMPATIBLE, PUTTING ON STICKERS WITH THE TIVO LOGO AND LYING! I heard it right from Tivo. This device "isn't on the compatible list". FCP
Great way to save money on Tivo! July 17, 2010

It works and is cheaper than buying through Tivo - what more do you need?
Bought this for a new HD Tivo last year - instead of buying the Tivo HD XL, I bought the one that had less memory, then got this expander pack for the same result and saved a ton of money!
It was very easy to install and haven't had to touch it since - set it and forget it! Even when moving from one tv to another, I didn't have to change or do anything at all.
Don't know if it works with or is even necessary for the latest version that Tivo is now pushing - the Tivo Premiere - but if you have anything below a Tivo HD and are satisfied with it but just want more memory - BUY THIS instead of upgrading to a new expensive Tivo!
fails too readily July 12, 2010

I bought this item from Amazon in May and it had a complete disk failure by the end of June.
