and what do you think about it? i'm thinking about getting the 80hr unit...any thoughts, suggestions?

hey bro

just incase you didnt know. you can replace the hard drive inside the tivo's with larger drives.

I have seen quite a few websites talking about it in the past. Just buy the cheap one and replace the hard drive yourself. Much cheaper and i am sure you will find everything you need on the net.

PM me if you have trouble locating it and i will see if i can dig up some url's

BUMP for the real question hehe

thanks buddha...anyone out there actually own one and have experience with one?

BTW, buddha, if you could dig up a website with larger hardrives for sale it would be great....i never know where to look even with search engines...

Hey bro

here are some links so you can learn a bit more about what you have to do. The hard drives come from wherever you get the best price.

Compusa has a 100GB drive that is around 100 dollars and sometimes rebates drop it to under 40 bucks.

so check there and www.pricewatch.com and look for huge drives . the compusa drive would be sweet in the smallest hour tivo they sell.

They are off the shelf drives. If your just replacing the default drive for a larger one you will save time.

Its possible to add a second hard drive and the info is on the url's i sent you.

Tivo is awesome. Not sure what I did without it. Make sure you get one with a dual tuner so you can watch one channel while recording another.
