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%' ?
There is a thread over on the VM TIVO Community Forum about this and NickO has said that his is at 65% and has not slowed down:
