We do still have a long list of people in line for these units, but we think we’ll get a pretty good allocation, and that should cover all we have on back-order, plus any orders between now and the 30th.

Finally!

We now have in stock upgraded HR34 DirecTV Home Media Center DVRs. These units have 2 TB drives in them, for double the normal recording capacity.

If you’re looking for an HR34, please understand that our quantities are extremely limited currently. If you can add the item to your cart, we still have stock and can ship.

Order from our HR34 Home Media Center DVR page.

We know that not many of the new DirecTV HD TiVo DVRs are out there yet, but we’re already getting upgrade requests. So it’s official! We’ve got upgrade options. We can get up to 2 TB in your unit, for up to 300 hours of HD.

See our DirecTV TiVo THR22 Upgrade page.

For now, though, we’re taking pre-orders in four configurations, so you can get in line for your DIRECTV THR22 HD TiVo and we’ll ship as soon as we can.

It’s finally out, and while the waiting isn’t quite over yet, we’re doing our best to get these in stock faster than anyone, and then to ship right away.

So come and place your pre-order and reserve an early spot on the list. If you need to cancel before we ship, that’s no problem!

More information as we have it . . .

We’ve got upgrade kits for the TiVo DVRs sold there – the TCD663160 and TCD663320 units. Both use the same upgrade kits. We offer a few sizes maxing out at 2 TB for 400 HD hours of Freeview.

And we’ve got some accessories that work with these units also, including replacement remotes.

TiVo Premiere Elite

We’ve successfully upgraded the unit to 4 TB for a total of about 640 hour of HD recording space. And these are also shipping, starting tomorrow. These units use a 2 TB internal drive, and a 2 TB external drive. Both drives are WD AV Green power models.

See our TiVo Premiere Elite models.

But TiVo does have the Product Lifetime Service option (PLS) which means that you pay once for service for your unit, and that unit gets TiVo service as long as it’s in operation. PLS costs $499 currently, or $399 if you already have a TiVo account.

Since the PLS is tied to the unit and can’t be moved, we’ve have some units here with PLS on them, for considerably less than $499. So if you’re interested in buying a TiVo DVR that won’t incur monthly service fees, see our page of TiVo DVRs with prepaid Lifetime service.

Prices start at $199.

For a point of comparison, the original AppleTV debuted with a 40 GB drive. Then, Apple began offering it in 160 GB versions. We can upgrade either to 320 GB internally. And we can go up to 2 TB with an external drive.

You do still need to send us the AppleTV for us to prepare your unit with the external, since it requires an internal, reversible modification to route a cable out of the box for the external drive.

Final note: these upgrades only work on the original style of AppleTV, pictured above, with storage. The newer, black AppleTVs are streaming-only and can’t support local storage at all.
