Huh, guess I was thrown off by the prompt you get when plugging something storage-based into the VM TiVo and the lengths TiVo US go to to sell their Western Digital official eSATA add-on HDDs.

Personally I wouldn't want to add an eSATA drive to TiVo because then you're running two HDDs which is louder/less energy efficient and as soon as the second one is twinned up you can't remove it without losing all the content that was recorded from the time it was added. I like the idea of being able to hook up an independent FAT32/NTFS/EXT3/HFS+ drive that can be moved between systems easily so media can be played on anything that will support it!
