Endless amount of space nowSeptember 6, 2008 At least so far it seems like endless space. The price was so low ($131.99) I couldn't resist buying the expander and I am so happy that I did. Before I was constantly running out of space and was transferring shows to my computer for storage. Set up was easy though I did have to do it twice for the TiVo to recognize the expander. The only problem I am having is that some recordings are pixilated but that might be the cable transmission.
TiVo additional movie storageSeptember 6, 2008 5 minutes after receiving the external hard drive it up and running. I bought another one for my son also. Works well for him also. Western Digital drives have always been my favorites Gene
TiVo Added MemorySeptember 6, 2008 I purchased a TiVo HD box and wanted to be able to store more than 20 hours of HD programming. I found the Western Digital WDG1S5000VN 500GB My DVR Expander eSATA and ordered it in August 2008. The Western Digital 500GB was easy to install and has been working great.
Excellent additional DVR storageAugust 31, 2008 This device installed easily, working with a Scientific American DVR on a cable system. The device runs silently, the front light is dim enough not to draw the eye. The expanded DVR capacity is awesome! Highly recommended.
SIMPLY AWESOME & GREAT FOR MEDIA CENTERAugust 27, 2008 These external drives are simply perfection! Not only do these smartly designed drives look great and makes real-estate a non-issue, but they work fast and silent, good enough to use as a main drive for Vista Media Center downloading tons of regular and HD shows.
Given the reasonable price I was able to purchase 2 more so that space never becomes an issue for me and never having to worry about the delete function in MCE or backing up onto DVDs is a major plus+!
