Last week I bought and set-up an 80 hour Tivo. After the thing was completely set-up, the low-level noise it made drove me nuts. When my sound system was loud enough it would drown out the noise. However, there was this periodic hard disk access racket that I would hear every time my sound system hit points of low or no volume. It was terrible when I was listening to music. Soft points in the music would be accompanied by the steady chugging along of the Tivo's hard disk. I returned the thing, but I loved the Tivo service, so I'm hoping you guys can offer me some insight. (1) Did I get a defective unit, or are all of the Tivo hard drives noisy? (2) Is the Replay any quieter? (3) Is there some other way I can get the Tivo service without the noisy hard drive problem?
