We’re always looking for another video storage unit to upgrade, and it looks like we’ve found one: the LG BD690 Blu-ray Vudu box. If you’ve got one, it’s got a 250 GB drive in it. We can upgrade it to 1 or 2 TB.
Here’s a screenshot of a 2 TB unit:
Please see our page for LG BD690 upgrades.
Thanks to the team at Techwebcast for having us on Saturday’s show! Pretty clearly, the Aussies are diehard TiVo fans and they’re champing at the bit to get some 21st Century features added to their boxes. Give them their YouTube (or an SDK?), TiVo!
We’ve gotten through our first backlog, and then our second backlog, and now we’ve finally got plenty of units on hand and in stock.
So if you’re looking for a DIRECTV THR22 HD TiVo, we’re shipping them out every weekday. And we’ve got them in the stock size (500GB) and up to four times that (2TB).
We’ve had many inquiries about extra remotes for the new DIRECTV HD DVR TiVo THR22. You can now get on the pre-order list for these remotes on this DIRECTV remote page.
You might wonder why it’s on the page with the generic DIRECTV remotes and there’s a good reason: it’s compatible with those remotes. That means two things:
So if you’re one of the many people who, over the years, moved away from TiVo DVRs to the other DIRECTV DVRs, but still like the TiVo peanut remote style, you’re in luck! This remote will work your unit, so you get all of the features that the other DVRs have that the TiVo doesn’t currently have, but you also get the best, most intuitive remote around. Sorry that we can’t get you the great TiVo interface on those units also . . .
We’ve got tracking info – our first shipment of these will be in today.
We’ll be working hard to get as many out today as possible.
If you’re looking for a THR22, order soon. We’re working through our backorder list, but we don’t expect to have many left after we finish off the list. And we’re not sure when our next shipment will arrive.
