From: Amazon Posted: Sep 21, 2008 Type: User Review Tivo HD

This product does not work with Tivo HD DVR. This DVR Expander locked up my tivo. But it claims it will work any DVR equipped with an active eSATA port. But it does NOT. So if you are looking for one that works with the TIVO HD get the WD 500GB My...

From: Amazon Posted: Sep 17, 2008 Type: User Review Great with Comcast

Simple hookup and it works exactly as others have stated with comcast. If you swap your DVR or switch companies you will need to reset the drive but otherwise exactly what I wanted at what I think is a great price.

From: NexTag Reviewed by: glangdon Posted: Apr 15, 2008 Type: User Review Dead as a doornail

Poor quality control. The unit arrived with a dead power adapter. I sourced a working power adapter and then determined that the drive itself was defective and unable to power up.

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 28, 2008 Type: User Review Never had a problem in almost 4 months.

This is the greatest investment especially for those who like to record several HD movies and events such as UFC in HD. Only downside to the technology is the inability to distinguish what data lays on the DVR from data in the Xpander. Also my co...
