Used for Tivo expansion October 10, 2008
George in Tucson AZ
I purchased this to expand my Tivo storage. Connection was easy and I have had no problems so far.

On the negative side:
This is the ONLY expansion drive approved by Tivo and for which they offer technical support. This is too bad because I would rather have had a 1TG, or larger, drive. This one is already almost full.

Tivo - get on the ball and verify / approve other larger drives for use with HD shows.

Died after 30 days October 6, 2008
S. Phillips (Jacksonville, FL)
The external storage worked great and died after 30 days. With Tivo, you lose most recordings as it puts recordings on both. Have opend an RMA with WD and will see how a replacement works.

Easy to connect and use October 1, 2008
Joseph L. Penza (Wall, NJ)
Had no problem connecting this to my TV and expanding my capacity to 85 Hours HD and over 800 hours SD. My new TiVo required a software upgrade but that was also easy.
