THE DVR DOCTORS ARE IN
Michael Adberg and Jeff Shapiro are self-professed ‘TiVo Addicts’
who can answer all your burning DVR questions
Los Angeles, Calif—Love your TiVo? Hate the fact that it only
records a limited amount of hours? Maybe you don’t understand
why your TiVo cuts off the last five minutes of your favorite show.
Or what if you want to transfer a great sports game onto video or DVD?
You need help beyond what’s printed in your DVR instruction booklet.
Luckily, the DVR Doctors are on their way.
Jeff Shapiro and Michael Adberg are the co-founders of WeaKnees, an
online company that sells DVR upgrade kits as well as complete DVRs
and home theater installation accessories.
Because of their “addiction to TiVo” Shapiro and Adberg
were asked to be the Technical Editors for the book, “Leo Laporte’s
Guide to TiVo” and were also contributors to the book “TiVo
Hacks” by Raffi Krikorian.
“We're TiVo addicts. We probably spend far too much time keeping
up with all things TiVo,” Adberg said. “So our customers
and even the TiVo community at large are always looking to us when they
have DVR emergencies.”
The self-confessed TiVo junkies can do much more than give your DVR
tons of hours of programming. These DVR Doctors can answer any and all
questions related to TiVo DVRs, DIRECTV DVRs, HD DVRs and DVRs in general.
The duo and WeaKnees have also been featured by David Pogue of The
New York Times, along with The Wall Street Journal, Time, Wired and
PC magazines. They are also constant fixtures in TiVo community chat
boards, forums and discussions.
WeaKnees started out offering high-capacity DVRs, as well as self-install
upgrade kits that can breathe new life into your DVR with hard drives
that you install yourself.
“The beauty of TiVo and other DVRs is the ability to watch whatever
you want, whenever you want,” says WeaKnees co-founder and DVR
Doctor Michael Adberg. “But you are going to need a lot of storage
space to do that.”
To accommodate the storage-hungry customers, WeaKnees sells upgrade
kits for both TiVo and DIRECTV DVRs that can give you as much as 20
times more storage space to record and store programming.
The DVR Doctors’ innovative kits can even resuscitate fried DVRs
from extinction and save your precious recordings in the meantime.
“When your TiVo is constantly working 24/7, it’s eventually
going to wear out,” says DVR Doctor Jeff Shapiro, WeaKnees co-founder.
“Instead of buying a new machine, our hard drive replacements
will extend the life of your DVR.”
The upgrade kits are available at www.WeaKnees.com, where customers
can use the “Upgrade Wizard” which walks them through the
process of ordering the right hard drive upgrade kit for a particular
TiVo model.
Plus the site offers the installation instructions online for those
who want to preview them before they buy. These instructions come with
color pictures that demonstrate the opening of each TiVo to install
the hard drive. WeaKnees also offers professional installation services,
for those who would prefer to ship the unit and have it upgraded and
shipped back.
And the DVR Doctors are always on call should you need help.
