I have installed a Lacie 1TB drive on my DirectTV DVR and so far...only a week.. it has worked well . did need to format the LaCie drive on one of my PC's before I connected it to the DVR. I don't know the Tivo but I would expect the Lacie drive to run on it. I used the eSATA port for a fast data transfer but the USB and Firewire ports should be okay also.As you can tell I did not buy the simpler USB only Lacie drive.

Do not know. TIVO rates the size of the hard drive by the number of hours of programming that can be stored.

Regarding Tivo2Go, this is probably a stupid question, but how do you watch HD content once you've transfered it to your computer? I assume it's still in MPEG2 format, so does it just play in a DVD player program the same as SD content?How fast does it transfer HD content?

This player is very basic if you connected a usb external drive it will play normal MPEG movies but will not copy to disk you need another model player for that

If you want DivX/XVid playback consider the Philips range of DVD players. The model I have has a USB slot up front - great for loading up something from your computer on a flash drive and enjoying it on your TV minutes later. Another interesting thing you can do is get an external hard drive (formatted to FAT32) and plug it in through the USB slot - it will read like normal like a giant flash drive. That's really awesome when you think about it!

It recognizes and will play content off my 3TB Western Digital drive. YMMV, however, as the manual says it is works with drives UP to 2TB.

Any USB works, You must load a playlist of the music you want to hear onto the thumb drive and it will play them in sequence or random I believe, It can't record to the drive just play.

The only files this TV plays using the USB input are JPG/JPEG photo-picture file types. It will not recognize MP3,MP4,AVI,MKV,VOB, etc.

Don't know. Call TiVo and ask them. They're quite helpful and they even referred me to Amazon to purchase this remote.

You can place mp3 files on a usb flash drive and play them back with the included remote.

Yea you should check on the Tivo website, your model number and what is the Max size of hard drive it takes, this enclosure will have nothing to do with it.

yes it dos play mp3s from a remote hard drive via USB but not 'shuffle' feature to allow random playback, or a way of accessing the playlist
