Re: how hot does yours run
Well I've never really bothered to check mine for heat so I just so. It's fine. One bit (towards the back RH side) is warmer than the rest but that's the only warm bit of the whole thing.
Well within 'normal' I would say. I could have sworn there was a 'Temperature' reading on the System Info page but it's not there now

Re: how hot does yours run
I've had my Tivo for well over a year now, and it sometimes runs warm, but like Carl, I don't check it. I wouldn't say it ever gets hot.
I do have mine in a TV unit with an open back and space all around the side, touch wood, it runs perfectly.

Re: how hot does yours run
Is there adequate vent space around your TiVo?

The TIVO 500 consumes 20 watt when in standby mode with no recordings set or recording a programme.

Re: how hot does yours run
Mines always very hot - both of them are. I've gone one in my garden office (a log-cabin style shed converted and insulated).
I dont have a heater in here. If it gets cold, I just get the tivo box to start steaming or recording and it gets baking hot.

Re: how hot does yours run
Mine is also quite warm with nothing recording. It's probably because the hard drive never spins down (even during stand-by mode).
