It appears that owners of Series3 high-definition TiVos will be able to drive up their storage a bit after a simple hack was revealed over the weekend. Using the method, TiVo users can expand the amount of storage available to the digital video recorder by using an external Serial ATA hard drive. The method allow the use of the SATA pots included with the TiVo hardware.
Normally the devices store an advertised 30 hours of high-definition programming. So far using the method, which includes pressing pause and 62 on the device remote control, is reported to work with hard drives with capacities up to 750GB.
