Hi, does anyone know where to buy the 1TB expander drive for the Series3 TiVoHD's in NZ? http://support.mytivo.co.nz/index.php?action=artikel&cat=17&id=23&artlang=en show the drive as 1TB My DVR Expander Drive by Western Digital, model WDG1S10000VA, which appears to be out-of-stock or out-of-production. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TiVo#Drive_Expansion shows the current drive is the Western Digital My Book AV DVR Expander 1 TB drive. I can't find anyone selling these either.

Or are people opening their TiVo's and replacing their 320GB drives with 1TB drives?

I don't know of any NZ stores selling the expander.

Most people I know have just replaced the internal with a 1TB drive and some with 2TB (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=462179).

If you are really desperate for the expander, you might want to try some of these (http://staticice.com.au/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=My+Book+AV+DVR+Expander&spos=1) Aussie stores or these (http://www.google.com/products/catalog?q=My+Book+AV+DVR+Expander&hl=en&safe=off&prmd=imvns&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_cp.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1920&bih=1015&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=shop&cid=4687198595315633416&sa=X&ei=JkRdT9S3DNGaiQernIGwDQ&ved=0CG4QxBUwAA) US stores to see if they will ship to NZ (note only the 1TB expander drive is compatible with AU/NZ Tivo's).
