Can I swap my Tivo Hard drive with a store bought one?
-
I know its not like buying a flash drive and adding it to my Tivo DVR, I know it will void the warranty of the Tivo (and even the hard drive) but I was wondering if it is possible to take a Tivo Hard drive out, attach it to a computer to copy the saved data, to a newer bigger hard drive, and place that into the tivo.

Answer:
It's a lot more complicated than that. The TiVo is basically a Linux computer and uses a Linux file system on the disk. Unless you're *really* comfortable with that, I'd recommend leaving it to others. Not only are the recordings on the disk, but also all the system software. You could turn your Tivo into a useless doorstop if you mess up the upgrade. There is a company called Weaknees that offers hard drive upgrades for Tivos.
