When I called TIVO because the hard drive had failed on my older (but still AWESOME) unit they recommended replacing the hard drive which had failed after seven years of service. I shopped around - $139.00 for a new hard drive so I went to trusty Amazon and found the exact same Tivo DVR for $99.00! I was able to pull the old TIVO and just plug in the new TIVO and off and running - new DVR, new parts, new drive, for $40.00 LESS than replacing the hard drive - and NO WORK to fix it. Awesome deal and I have my TIVO back. Works as promised and as always. ### ⭐ 1.0 out of 5 stars One Star *by M***E on Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2015* As off 5 days ago stopped to work,I don't know why. ### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars Sounds like a good idea - but maybe not. *by P***X on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2006* I purchased one of these units as my first foray into the TiVo world when my 15 year-old VCR started to die. I figured 40 hours seemed like a lot of TV to watch, and if I managed to get close to filling it I could download video to a DVD-RW and use those just like I used to use video tapes.Alas, the "gotchas" were too much for me:1) Video quality on the TiVo has 4 ranges: Best, High, Medium, and Basic. Shows recorded with Best looked pretty good, but anything less than that I found the video artifacts rather noticeable when watching the programs. I should note here that I was watching prime-time dramas, not sports (which, having more motion, should reveal more artifacts).2) Recording time was not what I had hoped. The stated "40-hour" recording time is for programs at Basic quality. At Best quality the total storage was more like 13 hours.3) The DVD recording function was disappointing. Not that it was difficult to do; it was really quite easy. No, my problems were with storage capacity and video quality. The first show I tried to move to DVD was an episode of The West Wing, and I found I couldn't store the entire show on one 4.7Gb DVD-RW (the one included with the unit, no less). Seven minutes of the show had to go on a second DVD-RW. Most of what I record is hour-long shows, so this wasn't going to work for me. I tried recording another hour-long show (again, a West Wing episode) in High quality and transferring that to DVD-RW; it fit with room to spare, but the quality on the DVD was really poor. Not impossible to view, but so noticeable that it was distracting.I did record another hour-long show at Best quality and found I was able to get that on one DVD-RW (barely), so it looks like I was subject to the vaguaries of MPEG compression. Some shows might compress enough to fit on a DVD, others might not. In the long run that was not going to work for me.Basically, if you're hoping to use this unit as a TiVo/quasi-VCR you're probably going to find it doesn't work as well as you expected. You may want to consider going with a unit that has more recording capacity, and if you really need to put programs on DVD try using the TiVo-To-Go feature. I haven't tried it and can't speak to the quality of the resulting DVDs, but I just can't imagine it would be any worse than using the DRT400. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1185780-humax-drt400-40-hour-tivo-with-dvd-recorder](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1185780-humax-drt400-40-hour-tivo-with-dvd-recorder) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-20*
