CAUTION - READ THIS

Some people are using several of the items that we sell to upgrade their TiVo.  You must understand that this is dangerous.  High voltages are present inside your TiVo and you can be hurt if you open the case.  You must also understand that it  WILL VOID YOUR TiVo WARRANTY.  Simply put, this means that it  WILL VOID YOUR TiVo WARRANTY  if you open your TiVo.  Like as in don't call or email me or TiVo or Philips or Sony or anybody else if you damage something.  Don't even touch those Torx screws unless you fully understand this and are prepared to toss it in the trash can if something goes wrong.  

Also understand that future software upgrades that TiVo sends your TiVo may not run on a modified unit and that TiVo, at anytime, could disable any or all of the additional space that is added to a TiVo.  They could also stop sending guide data to a unit, until it is returned to its original condition.  Currently, TiVo is playing pretty, but we have no idea what the future brings.  Please understand all of this before deciding to upgrade.

The products that 9th Tee sells are brand new and have the full manufacturers warranty.  We do not provide any application specific warranty.

Well, enough of that...

PTVupgrade SmartStart Power Supply Protector

The SmartStart Power Supply Protector is designed to protect your dual drive TiVo from stressful power spikes that occur during startup.  Designed especially for the Series 2 TiVo, this device gently ramps both the logic and motor supply voltage to the disk drive, so that the demand on the power supply will be much lower.  It uses all solid state components found in high end disk arrays.

One fact that is universally agreed upon, is that any TiVo power supply can effectively sustain the operation of two disk drives during normal operation without cause for concern.  What is not known, is the long term effect of the startup phase of the TiVo over it's lifetime.  The SmartStart is the smart choice for protecting your dual drive TiVo during this critical time.

Installation is super simple.  Just unplug the power plug from the original disk drive, insert the male end of the SmartStart cable in the original disk drive and plug the power cable that was in the original disk drive into the female plug on the SmartStart.   That's it!

IDE Cable For TiVo

Although not always necessary, here is an IDE Cable that will work in a TiVo.  The original TiVo drive cable is sometimes ok, but if you need another cable, this is it.  Also great for the newer TiVo's that only have a single drive cable.  This cable is custom manufactured and is longer between the drive connectors than normal.  Also, and this is very important, you do not have to drill or cut out the blocking pin with our cables.

You can use the 10' Long extension cable if your computer is just too far away.  Please note that longer cables runs may require lower data transmission speeds so try to use the 10' cable if possible.
