PVR / DVR / TiVo - We have it all

Are you willing to void your TiVo warranty for more space?

TiVoWhilst going through my daily email I found a link to this article at the Chicago Tribune, written by Alex L. Goldfayn. In it, he describes a company called DVRupgrade which will help you out when it comes to adding more storage to your TiVo.

DVRupgrade allows you to get the work done using one of 2 methods: either you send it in to them or you can order a kit and do it yourself. The kit isn’t up to much, just a hard drive, cable, bracket, wrench and instructions.

If you are a TiVo owner and you are looking at getting an upgrade, you may want to check this out. However, this could also be seen as a good reason to go the do it yourself route. Most DIY PVRs / DVRs / HTPCs can easily be upgraded by just popping in a new hard drive without worries of a proprietary system.

PVRWire also has a post on this (posted about 40 minutes ago as of this writing).

    PTVUpgrade.com (aka DVRupgrade.com) and WeaKnees.com are the two most respected Tivo upgrade sites. You can also upgrade a TiVo yourself with tools freely downloadable online, but not everyone is comfortable with that. I’ve done some myself using the downloadable tools, but more recently I used PTVUpgrade.com’s ‘Instant Cake’ CD on an old TiVo S2 because it was just easier. The $20 it cost was worth it for the time I saved and the ease of use.
