"I have a TIVO with lifetime service that I didn't want to throw away when it got annoyingly noisey. I bought a new drive and fan. 20 minutes after opening the box, my TIVO was downloading programming information, quietly. Thanks Weaknees for fast service and easy install."

"My HR10-250 Tivo went belly up telling me the hardware had
been shut down due to excessive heat. It just would not start… A little
bit of online research got me to your website for a replacement power supply. I
got the part today and thanks to your great (and clear) instructions it took
less than 10 minutes to replace the power supply. I’m back to watching
TV!
Thanks for a great website, clearly marked products, easy
checkout, INCREDIBLY EXPEDIENT shipping, and excellent installation
instructions."

GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!"

"I just wanted to write you guys to say THANKS! I got my replacement TiVo hard drive less than a week after I ordered it. Thanks to your instructions, I was able to swap out the drives all by myself. The now drive works perfectly. I really can't thank you guys enough for all the money I would have spent on monthly DVR service OR a whole new TiVo box/service plan. You guys rock."

"Thank you for the excellent work repairing my TiVo. Since the problem was somewhat intermittent (diplays only in black and white after a period of time), I was concerned that you may not be able to diagnose and fix it. But the service was fast and the TiVo is working great now!
Thanks for your help!"

"I had a flaky TiVo - intermittent pixellation and some recordings would stop part way through. Google pointed me to your site where the indication was a bad drive. I got a new bigger drive from you and installed it (about 10 minutes). My TiVo now works perfectly - and the additional storage is great. Thank you. You guys are the best."

"Got my replacement drive from you last Friday as expected, installed it on Saturday, and TiVo Series3 now works as if it were new! The new drive resolved the problems I was having with my TiVo not responding to the remote and not booting up properly. Installation was straightforward, very well documented, and quite easy. Thank you for the support."

"Installed my replacement power supply in ten minutes and my TiVo is alive now. I was reluctant to put $75 into a six-year old piece of electronics but your customer service rep reminded me that buying a new box would cost me much, much more to get my lifetime service back!
thanks for rescuing my TiVo"

"Unbelievable response time. Asked for help on a Sunday and received a response on a Sunday. How great is that. I thought it was one of my drives but your diagnosis was right on. The power supply. I ordered and picked it up the same day. Back up in minutes. I can't say more. Your the best."

"Great Hard Disk replacement kit. I didn't even have to go to my tool box! The hardest process of replacement was actually reprogramming of timer recording after replacement! And time of rebooting!!! I replaced in just 15min! I should have purchased Weak Knee 1TB hard Disk kit with extended warranty instead of WD My DVR Expander in first place! Thank you guys!!!!! "

"I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for the service you've provided
here. While I made a mistake in the original ordering, Weak Knees has been
very accommodating and managed to get my replacement drive turned around and
sent back out in a day. It is gratifying to find a company today that will
take a moment to send a personal note back to a customer with a question and
then provide further excellent customer service in quickly processing the
replacement. Good job!"

"Wow, I can't express enough gratitude to all of you at weaknees. I researched my problem, received your suggestion within the hour, ordered the part and replaced it myself all within 4 days of my tivo crashing. I have a lifetime subscription and was just sick of the thought that I would have to order a new unit and pay another subscription (I can't live without my tivo). Plus, after replacing the power source, I still have all of my programs saved from before. I didn't lose one thing!! You saved me so much $$$$!! I can't thank you enough!!"

"My Series 2 with a Life Time Sub has been resurrected with a new Power Supply! 1st I thought it was the HD, replaced (with larger of course :) ), but when it didn't work, some one suggested the PS and ........ voila! Today, it's up and running!
My wife thanks you the most (she uses it). I thank you 'cause I don't have to hear about it being broken anymore. :)
Cheers! Excellent job folks!!"

"I just wanted to thank you for your excellent customer service. I ordered a replacement hard drive for my TIVO Series 3 DVR Tuesday around noon. I was willing to pay for over night delivery but was told by your agent it would get there in the same time as standard because of how close I am to California. The hard drive arrived as promised Wednesday morning. After the easiest install I have ever had the TIVO is back up and running.
Thank you for your help"

"WOW - thank you so much for your quick and reasonable service. I just replaced my Directv R10 with your 320 gb hard drive. I read the instructions over quite a few times and then decided to tackle it. I feel sooo pleased with myself and the results. I don't usually tell my age, but I'm a retired Delta Airlines employee, absolutely not electronically wise, a 71 year old grandma and I did it all by myself.
Tivo Community. com was so right, you're the one to come to. Thank you, thank you, thank you !!!!"

"Hi, I just wanted to thank you for your professional excellence. I can't believe how fast you upgraded my Apple TV and sent it back to me. The Apple TV drive upgrade is very tricky and I'm recommending Weaknees to my brother and friend who are also looking to upgrade their 40GB Apple TVs'. You guys are awesome! Thank you, M.M."

"I am just finishing up the replacement of a failed hard drive in my vintage 2001 AT&T TIVO DVR2 and just wanted to say that without a doubt that was the easiest replacement and upgrade that I have ever done to a piece of equipment. The order shipped in less time than it said, the instructions were clear, and as a result I am up and running again on a box that has served us very well considering that it has run pretty much non-stop since we bought it. Your company has this down pat and I will recommend you to my TIVO friends in the future without hesitation.
Thanks"

"I just had an emotional breakdown when I realized my TIVO had died. My prayers were answered when I found your website. My TIVO (with a lifetime subscription) went from a dust colletor to an new improved DVR!!! I am not a technical person but with your great instructions and the tork screwdriver provided... I went from 40 hours of TIVO magic to 120!!!! UNBELIEVEABLE. THANK YOU!!!!"

"I just wanted to say THANK YOU for your website and products! My TiVo just stopped working one night after four years. I called TiVo support and they wanted $267 to repair the hard drive! I was devastated because I couldn't afford that and I'm addicted to my TiVo! The TiVo rep referred me to your site...Thank God for that! Within a few days I got my new hard drive by mail, within 15 minutes I installed it myself, and it took a half hour for the guided setup. YOU guys TURNED my NIGHTMARE into a DREAM COME TRUE! You Rock."

"I just wanted to thank you guys so much for your great website and hardware! My TiVo was on the fritz and your site gave me quick and easy troubleshooting so that I could figure out that the hard drive was the problem. Instead of buying a new TiVo which would have been $500 including service, I was able to save the one that I have had for 5 years with lifetime service for only $109! That is all thanks to you guys. On top of that, this allowed me the chance to upgrade the space so that I now have double the space and a fully functional TiVo. Thank you!"

"After a very fast reponse to my inquiry and diagnosis of my Tivo burner problem, I had a new drive in my hands in 48 hours. The self installation was a breeze with the instructions provided, and I almost couldn't believe that within 30 minutes of receiving the drive my Tivo was up and running better than original (speed and memory upgrades). This diagnosis/fix saved me loss of $800 unit, $399 lifetime Tivo service contract, and/or at least significant unit shipping costs and time if I had to ship item to service center.
I'm a brand new, but now loyal, WeaKnees customer.
Thanks!

"Wow!! That was sooo easy! Thank you so much! I just replaced my dead hard drive on my old 80 hour series 2 TiVo, and it works like a charm!! I don't usually write such glowing reviews with so many exclaimation points!! Now, I get to keep my lifetime service, and, record everything in "best" mode, and can keep whole seasons of shows all season long. You guys rock!"

"Seriously... I'd started to hate watching my tivo. I would think about it on the way home from work... thinking Star Trek or whatever is probably being semi-recorded right now.
Rebooting... freezing... severe skipping and digitizing... it could not have been worse.
A coworker recommended you a long time ago, but only recently did I visit the site and see how surprising the prices were.
I ordered, then I looked at my Tivo and thought, crap, these are special screws. Even when my new drive gets here, I'll have to borrow something from the engineers at work.
Nope. The kit comes with everything including special screwdrivers for the Tivo model you enter.
The instructions were easy, the surgery was WAY easier than I expected, and like I said... Tivo is a joy to watch again.
Thanks to weakness.com!

"Gentlemen,
I can't tell you how nice it is to do business with you folks.
But I can try. I previously bought a power supply from you
for my TiVo, and recently bought a new 80gb hard drive.
Installation on both was a breeze.
Your notes on how a hard drive can go bad over time led
me to believe that mine was going. For over a year it had
been "digitizing", halting, freezing up, etc. It is SOOO nice
to be able to watch TV again.
THANKS A MILLION. You guys are the best."

"Just a note to let you know that I am very pleased with the upgrade you guys did. Just hooked it up and was ready to go, no problems. Thanks so much for taking the extra time to transfer all my programs to the new drive. I can access all the programs without any of the problems I had before the upgrade. Looks like my unit had one drive, not two as I had thought. I'm going to be needing a new remote and will be ordering that from you in the very near future. Thanks again..

"My TiVo died; it would freeze uncontrollably (randomly at first, and then to the breaking point). After reading many TiVo forums online, I was convinced it was a drive problem; almost all of them directed me to weaKnees.
I am a skeptic by heart until I try any service personally, and this time I was desperate. I am so glad I came here.
I ordered a replacement drive, and it came by UPS exactly when I expected it. The instructions were actually clear and easy to follow (I bet my mom could follow them). Starting up and being able to go through the TiVo guided setup was a relief, and so far, everything has been great (it's only been a few days).
So far, I am so thankful I found your service. TiVo users are lucky for this.
Thanks again!"
