NEW DELHI: Expanding consumers’ TV recording capabilities by hundreds of hours, Western Digital (WD) has announced the Australian launch of its new 1 TB capacity My DVR Expander.

Australian consumers can now instantly and seamlessly expand their Tivo recording capacity by simply attaching the DVR Expander to their TiVo media device.

Tivo Verified My DVR Expander compatible with all Australian Tivo media devices, the new My DVR Expander enables users to record up to an additional 400 hours of digital standard-definition (SD) or 200 hours of high-definition (HD) television programming in addition to the native 160 GB capacity of Tivo.
 

The My DVR Expander, which connects through the eSATA connection on the media device, is the exclusive external device available for TiVo customers who need more room to record their ever-expanding collection of SD & HD programming.

Hybrid Television Services is the exclusive licensee of TiVo products in Australia and New Zealand. The company's CEO Robbee Minicola says, "In response to our customer’s desire to record more great content on digital free-to-air TV, we are delighted to have this product to satisfy their needs. This means that families and TV-buffs alike can record significantly more content including the outstanding High-Definition movies and programme content available now in Australia.
 
 
WD’s branded products and consumer electronics businesses VP, GM Jim Welsh says, "As the amount of HD TV programming continues to grow, Tivo customers have an even greater demand for recording capacity. WD’s My DVR Expander lets consumers spend more time enjoying a wider variety of recorded programmes rather than figuring out which shows to delete when they run short on disk space."
