Thank you I'd forgotten. I am running a 3.5" WD Red 4TB so I had to do the formatting but it was easy. (My previous drive was a 2.5" Toshiba and...
Should not be a problem at all. Everybody's experience is different, but I am glad to have gone with an external 3.5" drive that is connected only...
Personally, I would never try using a solid state drive in a TiVO. There is a misconception that SSDs are infinitely reliable because they don't...
Yes. Limited size choices, but among the reliable options, absolutely the simplest way to go.
My red drive is the WD40EFRX. Not sure what the difference is. FWIW it's not even in an enclosure. I've got a SATA cable running directly to the...
I detailed my experience with the warranty on the Toshiba 3TB 2.5" drive two years ago on these forums. The warranty is not worth much. Toshiba's...
I just removed the cover from the Bolt and left it off (my Bolt is out of sight so who cares...). The original 2.5" hard drive can remain in place...
These drives on Ebay are a great deal, no doubt. Buyers should just be aware that they are basically buying an "as is" product. The Toshiba hard...
Very consistent with my experience
With all of these stories of original drives going bad, I'd be tempted to take the drive out of any new Bolt before setting it up for the first...
This is sort of sad, but I get it. It the TiVO apps were better, I'd use them MUCH more.
Correct. It's a 3.5" drive. I had a terrible experience with the Toshiba 3TB drive and an even worse experience with Toshiba's warranty, so I...
Yep. For what it's worth, I was running my Bolt on a 4TB WD Red drive. I accepted the upgrade to the "new experience" 4, and the Bolt crashed....
Sounds like time for some troubleshooting. First steps: - swap the old one back in to make sure the TiVO boots up again - use an enclosure if you...
Could be CSR roulette, but I think mainly I made it clear what had to happen.
Haha, yeah. That was naive. I wasted a bunch of time with the TiVO support person on the phone doing pointless things like unplugging the coax...
Yeah, shame I was away all Sunday. Now will need to deal with limited weekday hours, but that's what I'll do. Thanks.
Any other ideas? Should I file a ticket? Nobody else had this problem?
OK. Tried that. Now more of the same. Started cycling on and off again.
I was skeptical about whether the new interface would be an improvement, so I waited a looooong time before finally caving to the prompts and...
