Does opening my Tivo void the warranty of the whole unit, or just the hard drive?

Hi,

I have a series 2 dual tuner that I just bought (I also have an upgraded older Series 2 single tuner that was upgraded last year). I can see that 80 hours isnt enough.

If I open the Tivo case, does that void the warranty completely? I am guessing the Tivo has a 1 year warranty on the unit.

Thanks,
Rich

If there is a seal you have to break then it will void the warranty for the whole unit. At least that's the way it is for my series 1 TiVos.

If it's opened, it's voided. But, if there's no warranty seal, then who's to say what's voided and what's not

Never mind, mine has no seal, so I guess its not voided

Yes, opening the TiVo can void the warranty.

Opening the TiVo itself technically voids the warranty, but they can't tell that way, at least without deep forensics.
