General Description of the Sony SVR3000:

The Sony SVR-3000 was the second and final standalone TiVo produced by Sony, and came out around the release time of the TCD240 series.

These units were really the first standalone TiVos to have buttons on the front, plus they used the very different Sony Remote, further differentiating them from the TiVo Series2 units.

These units were designed from the start to handle two drives internally, but Sony and TiVo never released an upgrade for them. They can hold up to two 750 GB drives.

Users of the Sony model are often reluctant to move to different TiVos since they've learned how to use the Sony TiVo remote, which differs significantly in layout from the TiVo peanut remotes.

Remote Info for the Sony Silver TiVo Remote:

This is the Sony remote for non-DirecTV TiVos. It looks almost identical to the remote for Sony DirecTV TiVos, but the two are not compatible with each other at all.
