Will this work with Tivo HD? Does any one know if this will work as a extender for a Tivo HD?

I also installed this drive on my DirecTV DVR(HR23-700) and it caused nothing but problems. In particular, if you were in the menu-->manage recordings, etc. for any length of time, it would hang the unit and only a hard reset(pull the power plug) would work. I have since installed the WD DVR expander drive and have had zero problems. Western Digital My DVR Expander 1 TB eSATA External Hard Drive

I have installed a Lacie 1TB drive on my DirectTV DVR and so far...only a week.. it has worked well . did need to format the LaCie drive on one of my PC's before I connected it to the DVR. I don't know the Tivo but I would expect the Lacie drive to run on it. I used the eSATA port for a fast data transfer but the USB and Firewire ports should be okay also.As you can tell I did not buy the simpler USB only Lacie drive.

I looked in the setup guide and I didn't find a specific programming number for TiVo. However, my TV didn't have one of those codes and it works with mine, I just had to set it up with a different method and it works fine. I also was able to setup my stereo which is about 8 years old. So I would think that TiVo would be compatible as well.

I have a 750 gig connected to a TiVo HD and a 1 tb connected to my TiVo Premier. Outside of an eSata cable issue with the Premier, I haven't had any issues with these Expanders. I just connected one to my Cablevision Scientific Atlanta DVR and so far so good.

I'm sorry, but I no longer use that item, so I'm not sure. It worked for my Series 2 TiVo though.

It works for all games such as xbox and xbox 360 so I am assuming it will work with tivo...but not 100% sure.

I've actually had the exact setup you're looking at (TiVo Premiere XL + 1TB Western Digital Expander, via eSata connection). While its nice as we do a lot of recording and almost always have something new to watch (we're at 97% capacity, opting to keep entire seasons of shows), we have been having an issue the last 3 months where playback of recorded shows has begun to "stutter" (symptom: video and audio playback freezes intermittently for 1-5 seconds at a time). This could be the the capacity we have it filled to, the DVR, or the expander; however, Tivo's troubleshooting steps have been to disable the HD User Interface as they say it can cause buffering issues, and now to completely disconnect the Expander and attempt recording for a week to further isolate the issue, answering: is it the DVR or external expander. Today I'm going to delete the majority of our recordings to make 25% of the drive available (750GB used) and see if that resolves the issue. Thought being: Is it worth buying a 1TB if you can only effectively use 750 of it. Next I will free the box to 500GB used (same as buying the 500GB option and filling it), and finally I'll free it to 250GB used (same as only using half the 500GB buying option). If all else fails, I will disconnect the box and see of its the drive itself or the TiVo, but honestly, since I've become fed up with the playback issues, I've been exploring whether it's worth buying iTunes Season Passes for the shows we watch and downgrading our monthly cable package (we also have an AppleTV). At least that way we keep the shows forever and don't have commercials.

I'm unsure. I have a Premier and a TiVo HD and use this adapter on my wifi connection to connect to the TiVo unit.

I've never programmed one to work a TiVo specifically. But, it works directv and comcast DVRs. i don't know what the TiVo button does exactly.... So I can't tell you if it will do the exact function you would need. But... In the display area (top of remote) you'll get all the same exact buttons you'd have on your TiVo remote.

Tivo can be tricky, and I don't currently use it. I found this link that might help you. From what I can tell it looks like HDMI might be the only way to make it work. Good luck. http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?p=9442932

It did work with my tivo, but i don't remember where i got the code from. i think i went to the tivo site and found it.

I'm pretty sure it will not. You can get a card from your cable company to put in the Tivo to have it tune in your channels like your cable box.

I stream to an HP MediaSmart TV and it works great. As an alternative, it will work with any Extender, like the XBox 360 or ones just announced at CES from Linksys, D-Link, or the new HP MediaSmart TV's.

Wouldn't work with my TiVo series 3 or premiere, which is why I had bought it. I tried various methods but nothing worked. You need a proprietary hard drive to work with TiVo. Wound up selling it on eBay.

Hi Stepeh. This adapter is plug And Play for Windows and Linux Operating Systems. Tivo Series 2 not recognize this device.

It works with my DirectTV Satellite Receiver. I cannot get high definition but thats because of the antenna not the control center. One of these days I will upgrade my satellite dish to high def.

No, TIVO and other DVRS require specific models. The Western Digital DVR expander (My Book AV with esata) is compatible. See product details and check with your cable company to verify.

I never was able to make it work, so I can't answer. I ended up with a TiVo
