 this I am not sure about

I think they should survey Tivo owners next time.

Perfect stress-testing environment. Mine runs at over 50C most of the time, and it's writing 2 video streams 24/7. What more could you do to punish a drive? :)

and the drives that are in them are consumer IDE drives.

I will admit that I've removed to cover from my tivo to allow it to run cooler, and I'm still on the origional drive + 100G drive I purchased way back when (7+ years ago) before I removed the cover I did have times when the tivo would die from the heat (Los Angeles area in the summer with no A/C)
