I recently connected a WD 1 TB My DVR Expander to my Series3. Now I'm getting corruption (MPEG artifacts and audio dropouts) on recorded shows. What should I do? -alan -- Alan Hoyle - - http://www.alanhoyle.com/

Are the Tivo HD and HD XL identical except for drive size? I've seen conflicting info on maximum drive capacity. I read max drive capacity was 1.1G plus the standard drive size, in other words Tivo HD 1.26 and the XL 2.2G. This seemed to indicate that if the HD had a 1G internal put in you...

I hadn't thought about this. I've been ignoring all the "You need a converter" talk, figuring I was safe in all the rooms that have TVs (since each has a cable DVR or a cable card in a Tivo). Then I remembered that our weight room has a Tivo Series 2 with the white coaxial cable running straight...

I need a HD DVR and I was considering the TIVO HD with lifetime for $500.00. http://www3.tivo.com/promo/fathersday09/fathersday09.html However, I was also considering just buying a Microsoft Media Center computer for about $500.00 I plan to use it only for OTA Over the Air TV. However, I want...

Unit was working fine, now I can't get it to see input from cable box. Setup: Cable box - red/white/yellow composite - Tivo Tivo - red/white/yellow composite - TV I've also tried red/white/Svideo from Cable - Tivo. I get no signal.

I want a 4 tuner 2TB HD TIVO that can handshake with my cable company for PPV and "On Demand."

I've been enjoying my Series 2 (540) TiVo that I upgraded to a 320G HD for several years now, but I think it's time to upgrade again (the HD is starting to get a bit noisy, plus I'd like more space). So, what problems (if any) can I expect, replacing 320G HD with a 1 or 1.5TB? Will a drive that...

My S2DT Tivo has a relatively slow wireless connection. It's adequate for the daily call and for transferring recordings between Tivo's, but is too painful for downloading to a PC. Does anyone know of or think there might be problems temporarily using an ethernet cable to connect it to the...

Just heard on drive home that the TiVo / Direct TV Suit is back in Echo Star Favor. TIVO Stock taking a dive after hours. No Google news link yet

Does HD Tivo receive the subchannels on over the air TV? An example is NBC in Los Angeles (over the air digital TV) is channel 4.1. Then there are the subchannels of NBC such as 4.2 (raw news) and 4.4 (universal sport). I want to know does the TIVO HD actually have a directory for these sub...

Okay, I've done the basics, temp's good, redid the setup (as recommended by Weaknees), fan's clear, everything seems good except it just rebooted again. Disk time... I've been out of town, so the thing's loaded - as well as an external drive too. What's the best approach to replacing the...

My DVD recorder died last week, just as I was about to finally transfer about 20 hours of stuff from old VHS tapes to DVD. I knew that once I was done with these transfers, there would be no reason I'd ever need a DVD recorder again, so I decided to try an alternate way of transferring the VHS...

Anyone tried one of these yet?

Has there been any movement on this front? Seems like it's been "real soon now" forever.

My S3 box is having periods of frequent reboots. Just this evening it rebooted three times during playback (& recording a single show too). The second time tonight, I pulled the power and let it sit a bit, but 20 minutes later, bang. This has happened similarly twice before in the last two...

Just bought a philips series 1 TIVO box from Surplus computers dot com. Added a 250gb HD and formatted it using Instantcake. I plugged it in to my TV and tried to subscribe, only to find out that I must have a hard wired telephone, which i don't. I talked with the folks at Tivo and they said...

My S3 missed a bunch of shows in the last 7 days (e.g. Fringe). I don't think it's full, but there was no warning or other reason given. I'm on Comcast in IL (dual CableCards), if it matters. Any ideas why this happened? The guide data is not out of date. Ted

downloaded some stuff from amazon and they came thru as copy protected .wmv files, converted em to mpg's and transferred em to my tivo with tivo desktop... someone here (i think it was in a fringe thread) mentioned they couldn't transfer em to tivo cuz they were odd extension/copy protected.......

Just wondering if I can use it without subscription. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone record Fringe and use Tivo Desktop? I have all but one episode to burn on DVDs. The episode I'm missing is #109 - The Dreamscape. I'll pay for shipping if necessary. Is there some other newsgroup where I can get it? Any help would be appreciated. Thank You.
