I was wondering what recording cap. Have ever been on a Series 2 tivo?

Has there been a 30 hour? I know of 40 60 and 80 + some bigger ones. And I know that you can upgrade and all of that. But Stock recording cap.

I think Series 2 started at 40 Hour.

There is no recording cap I know of, other than the buffer is limited to 30 minutes.

That "hour rating" is a basic quality, higher quality recordings will take up more space on the HDD, reducing potential recording capacity.

Why do you keep rewinding that? Because with TiVo, I can.

Nah I just seen a tivo on ebay that said 30 hour tivo. I assumed it was a series 1 since it was a 30 hour one. I thought they started @ 40 as well. But the picture was that of a series 2 tivo. The seller had -1 feedback so I was leary anyway and to see you say that you think they started @ 40 as well makes me feel better.

Thanks,

Thanks but I did not know what the numbers on the back of the tivo were.
It just said 30 hour tivo. But the picture was of a series 2. So either it was a series 1 with a hacked photo. Or a non-standard series2.

Thanks.
