Deciding on an ADD versus REPLACE Kit:

If you don't know which type of TiVo Upgrade Kit you'd prefer, we have a page for choosing ADD versus REPLACE.

PC usage:

You DO NOT need a computer in any way for this TiVo upgrade kit - this drive is completely formatted for your TiVo here at Weaknees.com - no further modification in a PC is necessary.

This TiVo Upgrade Kit is easy to install.

Everything is included with the kit, except a Phillips screwdriver (not needed for all kits). The instructions are available online for you to preview.

This Upgrade has NO effect on your TiVo Lifetime/Monthly Service

Your TiVo service is tied to your TiVo serial number, which is located in a chip on your motherboard. Changing TiVo drives does not in any way affect your TiVo service. So if you have lifetime service on your TiVo now, this upgrade (or repair, if that's the purpose of this drive kit) won't change anything - you'll still have lifetime after you install this kit.

This Upgrade has NO effect on your TiVo networking abilities

Your TiVo networking features are also tied to your TiVo serial number. Changing TiVo drives does not in any way affect your TiVo MAK (media access key) - it will be enabled on the new drive after one connection from your TiVo to TiVo's servers via phone or internet.

Note for previous upgraders:

This ADD type upgrade kit will only work on stock TiVos - TiVos that are running their original hard drive, without capacity modification. If you have already upgraded your TiVo with a new A drive or REPLACE kit, and want to add a second drive email us about adding to your existing capacity (you'd need to send us your current drive).

Standard Definition TiVo DVR and TiVo Upgrade Kit capacities are stated at Basic Quality. All capacities may vary due to hard drive models used.
