I have a Series2 Tivo that is just about three years old now. It seems to be starting to die. When watching live TV, the image will freeze for a few seconds and then resume, sometimes it will get heavily pixated but sound and motion continue (this isn't a digital cable issue--I have analog cable). Recordings are even worse and can be unwatchable.

I'd like to nurse this unit a long for a little longer before replacing it as it seems that a new Tivo is going to be released soon. As such, does anyone know if replacing the HD will solve these issues? If so, is this something that's difficult to do? I am quite computer savvy so I'm not too worried about a technical process.

Your help is appreciated. I miss my daily PTI!

FWIW, I bought a new HD and followed the directions here:

Hinsdale How-to TiVo upgrade

and my Tivo is happy again.

So did you see they are coming out with the 1TB version?

Actually, I decided to put a new drive in my unit mostly because of that new model. I want to use mine until the price on that one drops a little.
