I once had a NAS entirely comprised of salvaged TiVo drives that ran for a surprisingly long time. For some reason around '04 I kept finding them in curb trash walking down the street, a lot were direct tv branded iirc. Never really found out why but also didn't look very hard.
Ironically never once actually used a TiVo but still RIP was a cool idea and I got free drives out of it.

I don’t know what happened to that service, but my guess is the service ended around the time you found the HDDs available? TiVo had a few experimental features and NBC helped test them. You could press the TiVo button to record the show that was being advertised by a commercial for Friends, if the TiVo logo prompted you.
