TiVo officially supports the Western Digital “My DVR Expander.” This product is now available in 500GB and 1.0TB versions. The 1.0TB version (part# WDG1S10000N) adds 144 HD hours and is available from Amazon.com and J&R Music World for $165-$180. This product increases capacity to 165 HD hours on the TivoHD, 179 HD hours on the Series3, and 300 HD hours on the TivoHD XL. The 500GB version (part# WDG1S5000VN) adds 71 HD hours and is available from Amazon.com and J&R Music World for $100. It can also be found at Dell.com, Newegg.com, and most Best Buy retail locations for $110. This product increases capacity to 93 HD hours on the TivoHD, 104 HD hours on the Series3, and 228 HD hours on the TivoHD XL. On the TivoHD and TivoHD XL, the Western Digital “My DVR Expander” is the only external drive that will work without opening the unit and voiding the warranty. Do not confuse the “My DVR Expander” with a “My Book.” They are different products. TiVo does not support any “My Book” drives.
