What happens when you try without using the tuning adapter, does it still freeze?
You may have a failing drive. You can upgrade it up to a 1Tb drive (1.26Tb max.) Easiest method is using WinMFS from mfslive.org. Their MFS Live, you would need to make a CD to boot from and type Linux type commands.

Well ... actually the easiest method is to buy a pre-imaged plug-in hard drive, from DVR_DUDE on eBay or Weaknees.com. You can go to 2TB with these. The DIY methods are cheaper although if you end up having to by Instant Cake to get an image, you spend almost as much as if you bought from DVR_DUDE........You may have a failing drive.

I don't believe 2 Tb will work on the S3 OLED (648) TiVo.
I believe they will. Take a look at this **DVR_DUDE offering**.I don't believe 2 Tb will work on the S3 OLED (648) TiVo.
I seem to remember weaknees.com offers a 2TB for the 648 also.
Not sure if there's a DIY method for this yet.
I installed a new 1 Tb hard drive about a year ago and have had no problems until recently. Today the golf match recording froze after 26 minutes but I discovered that I actually had lost the golf channel. (I'm rebooting now. Rebooting sure takes a lot longer than it used to!)
I'll try by-passing the tuning adapter but I know I will lose a lot of channels when I disconnect.
