- Like, I have to get it *from* TiVo, or can I just get the Western Digital book they recommend? -- nm - JaxSean Aug 14, 05:55 9
  - I don't believe you need to buy it from tivo, but I thought I had read somewhere it has to be a WD 'My DVR Expander' HD -- nm - decline Aug 14, 05:59 8

        esata is the only way to connect to the tivo. the usb one won't work. here's one at Amazon for $94 -- (link) - decline Aug 14, 06:07 2
        
        NewEgg is having a 15% off sale for 72 hours, so it'll only be $80. - JaxSean Aug 14, 06:09 1
