If you have $1599 (after $200 rebate) to spend, you might to consider picking up a Series 3 TiVo with 2 Teraybtes worth of storage from WeaKnees. In case you’re wondering, two Terabytes will allow you to record up to 292 hours of high definition content or ~2778 hours worth of standard definition content at the lowest quality setting. In order to come up with two Terabytes worth of storage, the DVR utilizes both an internal and external drive.

I wonder how long it will be before we see a similar offer from my friends over at DVRupgrade.com….

As a side note, I would like to thank David for putting me down as his TiVo rewards referrer. If you’d like to put me down as your referrer, all you need to do is enter my email address (raianoat AT gmail DOT com) when you activate your TiVo. Thanks David. It really is appreciated!

In case you missed it, WeaKnees is offering a HUMAX TiVo DVRs with Built-In DVD Recorder for only $49 after rebate (PDF, DVR must be purchased by 9/8). All boxes are refurbished however, they docome with a full 90 day warranty. If 40 hrs doesn’t seem like enough recording capacity, you could always spend $100 more and get one with enough capacity to store 350 hrs worth of standard definition recordings.

If you decided to take advantage of this offer, I would appreciate it if you would enter my email address (raianoat AT gmail DOT com) when you activate your TiVo.

Last week I reported that WeaKnees had started to ship upgrade drives for the TiVo HD. Well, if you’re thinking about getting an upgrade drive, you might want to check out DVRupgrade as well. TiVo HD upgrade drives cost about the same from either company (WeaKnees, DVRUpgrade).

I’ve yet to upgrade any of my TiVos so I’m interested to hear what other people think about these two companies. Which company do you prefer? WeaKnees or DVRupgrade?

WeaKnees has published a wonderful page which compares the TiVo HD to the Series 3. Check it out if you’re undecided as to which DVR you should buy.

WeaKnees has announced that they are now shipping upgrade kits for the recently released TiVo HD. Prices vary depending on how much HD content you want to be able to record. For $159 you can currently get a 250GB drive which will allow you to record 32 hours of high definition content. If money doesn’t matter, you migh want to go with a 1TB drive so that you can record 145 hours of high definition content ($599).

Along with the upgrade kits, WeaKnees has also start to take pre-orders for already upgraded TiVo HD DVRs. Just like the upgrade kits, prices vary depending on how much storage you want.
