You will receive a disk full error and the unit won't be able record anything further until items are deleted to make room on the disk.

I do not know, but one would think it would stop recording. Nothing in the book so it is just something to test. I use a 32gb card, gets about 90% filled in a month. If there is no event to look back at, I just delete and start over again.

No you shouldn't as it records them as separate mp4 files (I think it's mp4). You tell it where to store the files so you can back them up if preferred.

it can do both, it will overwrite existing videos if you want it to or just stop recording till its cleared.

You can set it to overwrite existing video files or set it to stop recording once the SD card is full

The hard drive will record over the previous data by it's self. You don't have to do anything. If there is any data you want to save you will have to down load it before the hard drive rewrites over it.

No. The file would be too large. The system over writes the old ones once full. This enables you to keep a record longer.

I am not an expert on such things, but I see on p 45 of the manual the following: "A file of 2 GB or more in size cannot be played back." www.panasonic.ca (Canada) might be able to help further.

I am really sure but, you would probably lose 3-4 GB of data because of manufacture formatting, I would suggest go with 2TB.

No, it is false. The camera deletes the older file and starts recording in that new space. I have proved it with a 32gb it works good.

Thanks for the comeback, I accidently found the recordings in the "Record State" page this morning and was able to view them. my next task is how to save them for later viewing since it has erased them???? The FORMAT box is not checked and overwrite is disabled in the HDD page.

According to the instruction manual (page 7), it appears that you have to record until the memory is full. Hitting the record button after that point will delete all content and start recording anew.

This device requires a seperate hard drive. Depending on the size of that hard drive that determines how much you can store. The system automatically deletes the oldest recordings when it gets full.

Cant really tell, I only record my 3 favorite shows per week on a 160GB HD, so I assuming as much as the HD will hold.

When you hooked up your original expansion drive to your Tivo, the Tivo started using both drives simultaneously for its recordings. If you now remove your 500GB expansion, you will wipe out all of your recordings -- ALL of them, because the recordings are split across the drives (with the potential exception of something you recorded before you added the expansion drive). So DR Wood is right -- the only way to save any content is to move it to another DVR using Tivo ToGo before you disconnect.

I have not seen a way to do that but the system overwrites the oldest video when the hard drive runs out of space. Ao in that respect you don't have to worry about it.

Not to record, no. Unless I missed it somewhere. You get a new file whenever you start and stop recording.
