1 Comment on 2 Terabyte TiVo HD XL Now Shipping!

OK – we’ve been selling some 2 TB TiVos for a while, but not like this one. This one has ALL of the storage inside the unit, and it’s all on one 2 TB drive.

So now you can get the biggest capacity, all in one box. No external drive means no extra power plug, no cables, no lights, lower power requirements, etc.

The size is about the same capacity-wise as our 2 TB units that come with one internal terabyte drive and one external terabyte drive. And, sorry to say, due to the cost of these 2 TB drives, it costs a bit more. But you can’t beat the advantages.

For technical reasons, this size is only available on the TiVo HD XL. See our complete 2TB TiVo HD XL (Internal) product page.

No Comments on 2 TB Upgrades for DirecTV HD DVRs AvailableAs

Following on Monday’s news of full HD DVRs with 2 TB of internal storage, we’re now shipping upgrades for DirecTV HD DVRs with 2 TB also.

We offer this upgrade two ways:

As an internal upgrade: you send us your DVR and we upgrade it and return it.
As an external upgrade: we send you a plug-and-play drive for your DVR.

Both of these options are available with our copy service, where we move your content from your current drive to the new 2 TB drive. Of course, if you want that with the external drive, you still have to send in your unit.

More information and pricing is on our DirecTV HD DVR Upgrade page.

1 Comment on HR20, HR21 Pro, and HR22 with 2 TB Internal Drives

Starting today, we’re now shipping DirecTV’s HD DVRs with up to 2 TB of internal storage. We’re using the Western Digital Green Power series of drives in these units, the same series of drives we use at the Terabyte size.

As with other Green Power drives, these run cool and they really make surprisingly little noise for a hard drive at all, much less for a huge hard drive.

The 2 TB drive gives you up to 480 hours of HD storage, depending on compression and format. See our whole line of DirecTV HD DVRs.
