esata official position

[KingCabrera]

Has TiVo officially activated the esata port on the series 3?

No... not officially. It is turned on. It does work.

You can't call TiVO for support, or how to get your eSata drive to work with your S3

You would have thought that after a year to get this feature enabled they would have done so...

What's so hard about allowing the end user the ability to "plug an pray" an external device?

It took me 6 trys to get my drive up and running using the "kickstart" method..

I can understand that the feature is not operational with the Tivo HD, but come on now, the Tivo S3 just passed its first year anniversary...

Sad fact also, is the pixelation issues have not been addressed in a timely manner, with the S3 yet a select few have the "enhanced wish list" upgrade...

There should be a feature for the user to opt out of any given upgrade, or the ability to revert back to a pervious version, if chit goes south afterwards...

Whats up with that Tivo?
