The HD didn't work and I wanted more then 40hrs of tv recording. I found your prices very reasonable and service quick and easy. I am very pleased with the instructions. Changing out the HD took so little time I was amazed. I am a very happy Tivo watcher. I just bought an upgrade HD for an ancient Tivo, a friend gave me.

I'm guessing the 425va is total & 230w is ups. It looks the same as the suggested APC unit. Can I swap it out & use it on the DTiVo? Whats the power consumption on the DTiVo? I have APC Line Conditioners on the TV stuff where the new DTiVo will be used ..
