[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 1678240, member: 24160"] One thing to consider when getting the Tivo - whether to buy the 3 yr warranty or not. I typically do not buy any warranties, but did this time only because the Lifetime subscription belongs to the device - not the user. Looking at upgrading the recording capacity this morning and you have to use an external eSATA drive - the only one they advertise from WD is no longer manufactured but is available from Amazon and is a 1TB drive. You can easily upgrade the internal drive - and WD makes up to 3TB drives specifically for this use, but that would void the warranty. Guess I'll worry about that later if/when I start running our of space on the 500GB drive it comes with. I'm also wondering if Tivo is about to come out with a new Roamio - maybe one that uses a USB 3 drive. The options to purchase the year or lifetime subscription were not available on this device previous to this month. [/QUOTE]
