With all the talk of slowing down, sluggish TiVo's with the dreaded 'red circle of doom' I'm starting to wonder if I've been seduced (or tricked if you're cynical) by the massive 1TB drive which I may never be able to exploit properly. I'm at only 17% space used and I'm now seeing an increasing number of delays including freezes requiring a reboot.
If some users TiVo's are performing so poorly when only 20% full what is 75% or more going to feel like?
Right now the 500GB TiVo is looking a lot more attractive.
Can anyone here post a really high figure for disk space used while also having a 'quick' TiVo? Maybe we need a poll along the lines of 'My TiVo started to slow down when it reached XX%' ?
