Series3 Upgrade Kits Shipping…and more news.

Posted on September 16th, 2006, by Jeff

For those who have already purchased (or filled up?) your Series3 TiVo, we’ve got upgrade kits available. They are quite easy to install and we’ll be putting up installation instructions on the website soon. The kits are available in 500GB (60 HD hours) or 750B (100 HD hours), and replace the 250GB in the S3 from the factory. For better or worse, the S3 is so jammed with stuff that there is no physical room for a second drive. Also, for now, the eSATA ports on the unit are disabled, so if you want more space, an upgrade kit is the only way to go.

Also available, COMPLETE Series3 units with up to 100 hours of HD recording capacity….AND you can transfer your existing lifetime TiVo service to a weaKnees unit for $199.

Finally, we have said it many times before, but if you’re not on our mailing list, you are missing discount coupons and other tidbits that could save you money on this cutting edge technology.

weaKnees S3 TiVos eligible for Lifetime Service Transfer

Posted on September 16th, 2006, by Michael

TiVo has just informed us that customers looking to do the VIP lifetime service transfer can now do so with Series 3 TiVo DVRs purchased from WeaKnees. The lifetime service transfer means that if you have a unit with lifetime (standalone, Series 1 or Series 2) and you wish to move that lifetime over to a new Series 3 unit, you can do so for $199. Until now, TiVo has only allowed this special deal to apply to units purchased directly from TiVo at TiVo.com, but now they are extending this offer to WeaKnees Series 3 TiVo DVRs also. So now you can get a Series 3 HD TiVo with 100 hours and lifetime service. It’s the best of all worlds. Thanks again TiVo!
