Item Description:
Make room for more TV shows on your DVR, A storage companion for your camcorder, Store media for playback on your TV.

Expand your DVR storage so you can record more of your favorite TV shows. Or, transfer and store videos from your compatible camcorder to free up space for more recording. Connect the drive to a game console, Blu-ray Disc player or media player, like one from the WD TV family, to smoothly stream video to your big screen TV. It's the perfect solution for your video storage and playback needs.

High-capacity DVR storage ? Add hundreds of hours of HD storage to your DVR. Connect the drive to your compatible USB or eSATA DVR to instantly create more storage for your TV shows, sporting events and movies.

A convenient storage companion for your camcorder ? Transfer your videos to your My Book AV drive without a computer to make room for more recording. You can even use the camcorder to play back the videos stored on the My Book AV drive. (see compatibility tab for details on compatible products)
 
AV-optimized ? My Book AV offers smooth video recording and playback with Silkstream technology (available via eSATA). Built with WD AV GreenPower, the drive inside is optimized for the demands of reading and writing video as well as the high temperatures often found in entertainment centers.

Play videos, music and photos for playback on your TV ? Connect this AV-optimized drive to a game console, Blu-ray disc player or media player, like our WD TV family of products, to enjoy smooth playback on your big screen TV.

Small enough to fit in your entertainment center ? The small My Book form factor fits neatly in your entertainment center. It can stand upright or lay horizontally, making it easy to neatly position your My Book AV near your AV devices while maximizing airflow and minimizing heat around the drive.

Maximum flexibility ? My Book AV has both USB 2.0 and eSATA interfaces so your drive is compatible with most DVRs and other AV devices.

*When used with a DVR, the My Book AV drive expands the recording capacity of a single DVR and cannot be also used as an expander with multiple DVRs or as storage for other AV devices.

Works with Tivo HD

Submitted 14 years ago

By Kent

From Philadelphia, PA

Verified Buyer

Pros: High Capacity, Easy to use, Easy To Set Up Cons: Other thoughts: Hooked up to Tivo HD with included eSATA cable.... increased HD storage from 20 hours to 150+ hours. If you have a Tivo with limited storage space for HD programming, this is a no-brainer purchase.Quick and easy hook-up... been running for weeks now. It 'just works.' Once it was installed, can't tell it is there other than the increased storage.Look on [@] for installation instructions and then follow the Tivo on-screen menus.(Same item sells for much more on [@])

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend
