Awesome Customer Service - Ships Fast, too Hard to say anything but a total two thumbs up here. Got the referral from TiVo the mothership. Said to use this company. Company had what I needed in stock. Shipped it same-day. Got it next-day. Fixed my problem totally and gave me more space. Couldn't be better.

Dead TiVo revived! I’ve had my TiVo for 5 ½ years. Recently we had a couple of power surges and the TiVo hard drive died. Rather than paying $240+ for a new unit plus $500 for lifetime service, I decided to try WeaKnees to see if my unit could be repaired, saving a bunch on TiVo service. Great decision! They replaced the HD (upgraded to 1TB) and replaced the power adapter for a total of just under $200 including return shipping. They also suggested a UPS to keep power fluctuations from killing the HD again. The TiVo is now running through a UPS and is working like new. It only took 10 days from mailing the TiVo to receiving the repaired unit – a very reasonable turnaround time. If you have a TiVo that was totaled, check with WeaKnees about a refurbished unit.

Simple repair comes back with more problems after I refuse "extra" service I sent my Tivo S3 in for repair to the HDMI port which failed because the pins had gotten bent. Other than that, the unit had worked flawlessly for years. While the unit was in for service, Weaknees contacts me and tells me that the power supply in my unit is showing signs of failing in the near future. But, if I give them another $99.99 (not kidding), they would replace the power supply. I politely declined as I was at the maximum for my investment in the unit and would accept the unit maybe working for another 6 months or, maybe if I am lucky, a year. I at least expected that it would work when returned to me as Weaknees indicated that it was in working order after the repair. I got the unit back and, while the HDMI repair seemed to be successful, I am experiencing problems with the unit freezing so that it becomes non-working. I wrote Weaknees about the problem and they told me that these are symptoms of a failing power supply. I'll let you be the judge on whether this is a shady scenario or not.

Poor Customer Service Strict Returns I recently purchased a hard drive from Weaknees. The hard drive didn’t fix my TiVo problem. I then purchased a power supply. This didn’t fix my problem either. They only agreed to take back the power supply because I bought the hard drive more than 30 days ago. They already charge a 15% restocking fee and they still refused to help me out. I am not even sure if the hard drive works.

Astounding, Fast Service. These guys are TiVo geniuses! I was really, really in a jam. It was Thursday night before a three-day weekend, and my TiVo crashed. It just up and died. I had no clue what to do. We had family coming to watch the NCAA playoffs on our new HDTV this weekend. I frantically searched Google looking for someone to repair my TiVo. Friday morning, I contacted weaknees by online chat. I'll skip to the end: About 20 minutes later, I had an order in for a hard drive, which they shipped to me overnight for Saturday delivery and I was up and running in 30 minutes flat. They offered me a flat-fee repair, and I would have gone for that if I had had the time. But I was in a PANIC! Do not hesitate to use them....they are top notch!!
