If you’re reading the blog, you surely know that at WeaKnees, we’re all about TiVo capacity. So we keep a close eye on the amounts of space in the units that we come across.

We expected this, and we got it:
Then we saw some of these:

Anyway, despite the crazy numbers, of course these all have the same Western Digital 250 GB drive in them. Not adequate at all, as far as we’re concerned. A Seagate 750 GB drive is a much better choice . . .
One reply on “Wild Capacity Variations on the TiVo Series3?”
32 versus 25 is a 22% difference which could be significant. I do recall seeing or being provided different numbers for HD recording… wondered if it had to do with provider and/or cable v OTA. (Or software version… mine was updated at least once before it was even released and then again.)
