    I wasnt sure if this was going to work or not on the series 5 as i could not verify compatibility from the literature

    Unplug the tivo and connect esata cable included to the unplugged tivo and unplugged expander


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Connect the power cord to the expander and wait approximately 15 seconds for it to come up to speed

    After the expander has come up to speed plug in the tivo

    Tivo will start up and detect the drive and then ask you if you want to connect it

    Online instructions are also available on various tivo sites

    After i ordered the esata cable that one review said was in the box and received it a couple of days later the setup for tivo enhanced storage was simple and it is the only thing that works as an external storage device with a tivo that i have found


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
