General Description of the TiVo TCD540140:

TiVo's third version of the Series2 platform was the TCD540 series. These units were very similar to the TCD240 units, but had a NightLight faceplate that glowed and could be adjusted within the settings. Again, internal changes were made, largely to reduce manufacturing costs. This series completely replaced the TCD240 series.
