There's a high end HD TiVo (Series 3) with a 250GB drive instead of the 160GB. It also has other features like surround sound. And it costs double the price of the standard HD ($600 vs. $300).

There's a 500GB, power saving, quiet running Hard drive for $70 at Newegg.com. It requires a little bit of semi-advanced computer gymnastics to get it recognized by the TiVo, but it's a much better option unless you REALLY want surround sound from your TiVo.
