The TiVo HD XL is the last and the greatest of the Series3 TiVo DVRs. It has THX sound, a Glo remote with the 1-2 switch, and can accept two CableCARDs.

Since TiVo has stopped producing these units, we’ve got some special pricing deals on them, while supplies last.

The base unit is down from $499 to $349 and, if you get the special on our homepage before it’s gone, you can get the 2 Terabyte unit that holds over 300 hours of HD for $599!

We’ve just gotten the full upgraded TiVo Premiere units up on our site this week, so you knew the kits wouldn’t be far behind.

Well, they’re here now!

TiVo Upgrade Kits for TiVo Premiere

TiVo Upgrade Kits for TiVo Premiere XL

One of the great features of these new kits is that you can now get a single 2TB internal drive for either unit. With the previous TiVo DVRs (the TiVo HD series) the 2TB internal was only available for the TiVo HD XL. But now you can order a 2TB single internal drive for either Premiere, so you can get more internal storage for a pretty good price!

As always, our kits are easy to install, they’re plug-and-play, and they ship with instructions and tools.

The one configuration we don’t have yet on the site is our backup solutions. We’re working on those, and we hope to have them available before too long. Just a little more testing there . . . we want to be sure they perform perfectly.

As mentioned in an earlier post, we’ve been working hard on getting the new TiVo Premiere HD upgraded in a rock-solid configuration, and, after much more testing, we’re happy to say it’s a complete success! We even have a new maximum capacity available: 4 Terabytes – that’s enough storage for up to 640 hours of HD recording.

These units are now in stock and ready for sale – you can find them on our website here:

TiVo Premiere HD DVR – Stock and Upgraded

We’re able to upgrade both the TiVo Premiere and the TiVo Premiere XL to the same capacities, thanks to lots of new code inside these units. So you can get a 2 TB internal drive in either one, or you can get either with a 2 TB internal and a 2 TB external if you want it.

Here’s a screenshot from our new largest TiVo ever:

And, of course, we’ll have upgrade kits on the site and shipping soon also!

This blog post should have written itself, but I couldn’t pick a headline.

Whatever the case, if you’re reading this, you’re likely enough of a TiVo fan to know that the TiVo Premiere started shipping a little over a week ago. However, due to some changes in the way and location that data is stored on the Premiere, upgrading the box was not the same as earlier models.

Just as with the TiVoHD and TiVoHD XL, new tools had to be developed. Fortunately, we have some very talented folks behind the scenes (and a hearty, warm and huge thank you goes out to the one largely responsible!), and once again, we have an upgrade solution up and running.

We haven’t put the kits up on the site quite yet because we want to do some additional testing, but the 4TB kit consists of a 2TB inside the TiVo and a 2TB external. We expect to have 2TB internal kits available for both the Premiere and the XL, and likely will have a 1TB and 1.5TB kit to replace the 320gb in a Premiere.

And, of course, we’ll have a variety of complete units for sale soon, topping out with a 4 TB TiVo Premiere XL.

Keep watching the blog for more info. You can also subscribe to our email list to be notified when these units are ready to go!

There’s always something new coming through here. Check out this one:

Amazingly, given the age of the unit and the drives, it seems to have worked like this for several years. That’s pretty shocking to us, considering how that foam below the Maxtor would just hold the heat right against the drive. And the duct tape (haven’t seen it in that color before) keeps the whole thing vibrating nicely.

People, PLEASE! Spend the $14 for a TiVo Series1 upgrade bracket in the future!
