Title: Works like a charm
Product review: I have a Tivo 3, and decided to upgrade with a non-standard (Apricorn) 1 Gb hard drive. The stupid thing kept crashing (either hanging up and rebooting itself, or giving me the "green screen of death"), on the order of about once a day, often having to restart (10+ minutes lost) right in the middle a recording. I read somewhere online that the Tripp Lite cable (heftier than the cable supplied with the HD) would help this problem. I installed it several days ago, and it has worked fine since then, and has not crashed once. Problem solved, apparently. This 18" cable is fairly short, and if you use it for the same application I do, your external hard drive will have to sit right on top of your DVR, but in my case, that's no problem. I believe Tripp makes the same cable in longer lengths if that is a problem.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
