Tivo has its own software that you can put on your computer then allow it to "talk" with the Tivo unit, either using a direct Cat5 cable or WiFi and an adapter on the Tivo.
You can then transfer any recording to your computer and save it on a hard drive, CD, DVD or whatever. It as well allows you to "auto transfer" programs so if you are traveling it goes to your computer and is deleted off of the Tivo unit when the drive gets full.
I would not buy the cheap drives above to use INSIDE the Tivo unit. The DVR style of recorders use a hard drive whose transfer speed is a lot faster than a normal hard drive, or so I was told by WeakKnees. Course they are also trying to sell hard drives so it may just be the salesmen talking.
