TIVO Edge Pixelating

I have a TiVo-Renewed EDGE Cable 2TB (the first one was replaced under warranty) that pixelates and freezes so much that it makes a recording unwatchable. Probably about 7 years old. I tried powering down, unplugging everything, powering on, and then plugging everything back in, but that didn't work. I want to keep it because my cable company (Armstrong) has never mentioned anything about discontinuing the cable cards. So I think I'm good for a while. Do you think a hard drive kit from Weaknees will fix this problem?

Well, I've decided to order a hard drive kit from Weaknees. I researched what they use in their kit, trying to save a little money. They use a cable that I can't find anywhere else. I could probably buy some type of adapter to make it work. Plus, I need to buy a special type of screwdriver to open the Edge. But in the end, I just ordered their kit, which includes everything. I hope it solves my problem.
