Nope, it’s all handled automagically by the software.
Oh and by the way, if you haven’t already seen it, the Tivo Hack FAQ is interesting reading, even if it’s just theoretical for you (as it was for me).

Odd question, that I didn’t see mentioned anywhere in the TivoFAQ.
Do you have to defrag the TiVo’s hard drive occasionally, or does it take care of itself automatically?

Nope, no hacking for us – I’m too scared of violating the warranty or screwing something up. Besides, the current capacity is fine with us.
We have a 30-hour Phillips unit, which given the quality we typically record at actually translates to about 13 hours of recording time. If that becomes insufficient, we’re obviously watching too much TV 🙂
We got our TiVo on the cheap – it was an open box special at Best Buy and only cost $170 (well, plus the $9.95/month for the service). Unfortunately, the Series2 models are rolling out now and it’ll be a while before prices get that cheap again.
