Toshiba TiVo Remote for SD-H400

We’ve added another replacement TiVo remote to our array of remotes. This is one we haven’t had before – it’s the replacement for the Toshiba TiVo with a DVD player (but not for the Toshiba TiVos with DVD burners – but we have those too).

This was one of the few TiVos that wasn’t compatible with the traditional TiVo Peanut remote – the others were the Sony TiVo units.

This remote has been very hard for us to source, but we finally got a decent enough supply to keep them in stock and to put them up on the site.

Humax DRT800 DVD TiVo with FireWire – We’ve got them!

I know, I know, it sounds like we just re-published a story from years ago. But the Humax DRT800 DVD TiVo is back, and we’ve got a bunch of them, refurbished.

So if you’re looking for the all-in-one DVD/TiVo combo, and you want FireWire so that you can import videos from your camcorder, this is the unit. It plays CDs, DVDs (both commercial, and burned), and it burns DVDs. It’s a great way to backup your family videos, and it’s great for people who want to archive TV shows and be able to burn DVDs to send to friends and family.

This unit can also do all of the networking that other Series2 TiVos can do, and it’ll work with converter boxes if you’re using an antenna and concerned about the February 2009 digital changeover.

Lower Prices on DirecTV TiVo Satellite Tuner Repair

As more and more DirecTV TiVos age, we’re seeing many, many more satellite tuner failures. What was once a rare repair job for us has become much more standard, and that being the case, we have a lot more experience with this type of repair job, and we’re able to fix them much more effectively. 

So we’ve reduced the price of these repairs, and now they are a very compelling alternative to getting a replacement unit. Repairs start at just $129. See the full information on our DirecTV TiVo Satellite Tuner Repair page.

New TiVo Upgrade Kits – 1 Terabyte Drives for Most TiVos

We’ve just begun selling 1 Terabyte hard drives, fully prepared and ready to install in all Series2 TiVos. This includes the DirecTV units, and the TiVos with integrated DVD players and burners. We’re using the AV line of Western Digital Green Power drives for these kits, so there’s even a power-use reduction over older drives!

Here’s a screenshot of a 1 Terabyte drive installed in a Pioneer 810H. This is a combo DVD-TiVo unit, and since it has an internal DVD burner, it only has space for one hard drive. So the 1 Terabyte kits give these units a new maximum capacity of 1360 hours. This information also applies to the combo units from Humax and Toshiba.

For standalone Series2 TiVo units (from TiVo, Humax, AT&T, and Sony), a single 1 Terabyte drive maxes out at 1270 hours of space at Basic Quality. See the screenshot for capacities at other recording qualities.

Finally, for all of the Series2 DirecTV TiVos (brands include Hughes, Philips, Samsung, RCA, and DirecTV), these units get up to 973 hours of all-digital recording space.

These kits are ready to go and begin shipping today!

Clicking the Google Checkout button takes you to your account on Google’s site, or to a sign up page for the account. Here’s an example of what I got when I did a checkout:

It’s a pretty cool system. In typical Google fashion, the interface is quick, sparse, and comfortable. Try it out!
