I have a DirecTivo Hughes HDVR2 TiVo with a 300MB drive from WeaKnees. In another thread, we determined that the problem I was having was a bad tuner. So, I just bought a new (that's right, NEW!) Hughes HDVR2 Tivo. So I am going to buy a new hard drive for the new Hughes HDVR2.
My question is one of performance. I am thinking of buying the special that WeaKnees currently has for the 500MB drive. For the Hughes HDVR2, is there a performance difference between the 300MB and the 500MB drive? In particular, if both drives get full up (if we record and keep a lot of movies), can the Hughes HDVR2 keep up with them on a processing basis? Or will the extra data slow down the Hughes when I'm paging through the lists, etc.?
Many thanks in advance for any of your advice.
