My Tivo has slots for 2 cable cards (so it can record 2 programs at once).

>Tivo sells?

Yes, but they claim non-Tivo certified drives will not work as well. That 
could be bull, but the drive manufacturer also says that this drive 
should not be used for regular data applications. So, while vague, this 
does imply that this drive has some unique features. I did not bother to 
research the issue after I found the drive widely available at prices 
lower than Tivo's direct price. The cost was close enough at NewEgg to 
the price of similar non-certified drives that it was not worth 
researching or taking a risk.
