Re: TiVo space doubled

There is no facility for the total space to change, short of having a 500GB box physically replaced by a 1TB one. Either the software has miscalculated the space available, or some recordings have been deleted without him being aware.

I'd suggest a reboot for starters. If recordings have been deleted, Recording Hiccups should say why.

edit: Just re-read your post. If it's gone from (say) 99% full to 98% full, that's normal. The free space varies because the size of the time-shift buffers varies, depending on the bit-rate of the channels it is tuned to.
