Could be a dodgy disc ...
Hi Matt -
Can't comment on the cache card. But I too had problems with choppy video. There are other potential causes (you're not still in NTSC mode are you?) ... but my cause turned out to be a faulty disc. I replaced it with another disc and re-imaged and the problem went away.
My symptoms were that the video (and audio) would "freeze" for anything from a second to several seconds ... it got progressively worse, starting with short glitches and got gradually longer and longer.
So it's just possible that your disc could be the culprit .. in which case the new disc could be the answer to your problem.
HTH,
Mark
Ooops .. ATA then ... sorry!

NO! TiVo does not support Serial-ATA (SATA) drives. TiVo *will* support UATA but the transfer speed will only ever be ATA-33 anyway due to the hardware limitations of the IDE interface.
Ooops .. sorry. As I said I'm not (any more anyway) a hardware expert. I used to know the acronyms, but that part of my brain has atrophied! ;-)
So a standard ATA drive is the go then. My other recommendations still stand though ... I think it's worth splashing out to get a larger HDD - and I note that the feedback on the cachecard is not that enthusiastic too ..
Exits as credibility crumbles ....:eek:
Cheers
