In 1999, Philips released the first TiVo box ever available for purchase, the HDR110. The HDR110 contained a 13GB hard drive, same as the HDR110, which was released soon after, and replaced the HDR110. This TiVo can only be used as a "dumb DVR" or "digital VCR" after TiVo had replaced receiving guide data from Gracenote to Rovi in September 2016 by updating the firmware of every TiVo, and Series 1 TiVos did not receive that update.

Hardware

All of the Philips Series 1 units (even the Sony-SVR-2000 and Thompson PVR10UK) use the same internal parts, including the same motherboard, hard drives, power supplies, etc. The Standalone Series 1 units all have the same specifications:

IBM PowerPC 403GCX running at 54 MHz

16MB of onboard RAM

Models

Philips released multiple different models between 1999 - 2001. These models do not differ in functionality, only in hard drive capacity and the front faceplate.

List of models, 1999 - 2001
 Model   Released   Hours/HDD Size   Notes   Image 
 HDR110  1999 13 GB = 13 hours  The first TiVo ever released. This design a oddly large TiVo in the middle (while also still having the smaller one in the bottom right corner)  but otherwise looks similar to the later models.
 HDR112   Equivalent to the HDR110 with a different faceplate
 HDR212  2000 20 GB = 20 hours  Uses an all-black faceplate.
 HDR312  30 GB = 30 hours
 HDR612  2001 60 GB = 60 hours  This was the last standalone TiVo Series 1 Philips released, it has an inverted faceplate and the highest capacity of any Series 1 TiVo from the factory.
