OK, sure, you can make a TiVo as dirty as you want.
But as far as a working TiVo innocently plucked from it’s installed environment, we’re pretty sure this is the worst we’ve seen.
Amazingly, it seems untouched by any type of airflow whatsoever.

Feel free to leave some full ones in there when you’re packing up your TiVo for a WeaKnees repair.
