Yes! Your Fantom Drives is compatible with TiVo with the following caveats:

1. We are aware that our drives may be successfully used with Tivo branded hardware, but we do not have the equipment or authorization from DVR vendors to support their platforms, and is outside of our support capability.

2. The USB and/or eSATA ports may not be enabled on your TiVo receiver. Check your TiVo version and firmware to verify that the port you are using is active. If it is not, it may be made usable by a firmware update or by performing a "kickstart 62." For more information this may help:http://www.google.com/search?q=tivo+external+disk+drive

3. Please be aware that TiVo requires the use of its own file system, MFS, before the disk can be used to store TiVo content. Consult your TiVo receiver documentation for more information.
