TiVo Roamio and Roamio OTA Fan Noise

We’ve been getting a lot of inquiries about fans for the TiVo Roamio and the TiVo Roamio OTA DVRs – models that start with TCD846. The fans in these units are small and can get pretty loud over time.

Until now, we didn’t have a ready source of these, and we didn’t have instructions of replacing them. We now have both.

You can buy the fan here:

TiVo Roamio and Roamio OTA Fan and Tools

and you can watch a video on how to install it here:

At the moment, we are only selling the fans with the Torx tools you need (three sizes: 8, 10, and 15).

How (not) to Pack your TiVo

Every now and then, we just find a really, really creative solution to the problem of packing a TiVo. Like, really creative.

This week, we unpacked a box that had been packed in insoles. Good enough for a runner, good enough for a TiVo:

Here we go again: Largest TiVo Ever!

As we mentioned in our last blog post, we’ve been working with Western Digital’s newest 8 TB drives. We have them available in many of our products, and now we’re ready to announce another one for sale, with immediate availability.

You can now order a Roamio Pro with 16 TB of recording space. This unit will hold up to 2570 HD hours, or an insane 17725 hours of standard definition content. This unit has an internal 8 TB drive, and an external 8 TB drive. And this is, most definitely, the largest TiVo ever.

You can find this huge unit on our TiVo Roamio DVR page. And, yes, it comes with 1 year of prepaid TiVo service.

If you’re looking for a huge unit with 4K capabilities, then see our TiVo BOLT with 10 TB of space – that’s the largest we currently offer for the BOLT line.

They’re out, and we’ve tested them! 8 TB drives are now in use at WeaKnees in a variety of DVRs and kits.

We have 8 TB Roamio Pros that can record up to 1280 hours of HD, all in one unit with no external drive. See those here:

WeaKnees TiVo Roamio Line

We’ve expanded our top-end TiVo BOLT from a total of 8 TB to a new total of 10 TB! See our BOLT page for that.

We have new DIRECTV Genie Servers – the latest and greatest HR54 – with 8 TB of space, to record up to 1600 hours of DIRECTV HD hours.

And we have internal and external kits for Genies, and internal kits for Roamios.

Those TiVo BOLTs and DIRECTV HR54 Genies can both record in 4K, so you might end up needing all of this space sooner than you think!
