Good deal on an HD Tivo [and now a 50" Plasma TV!!]

I saw the woot! deal, but after looking at the Tivo site, decided to save my pennies and go for a larger drive with service. Tivo is such a superior product. I still have my non-hd tivo for my non-hd TV that I don't watch anymore.

FYI, you can replace the installed hard drive with drive that's twice as big as even the one that comes in the fancy Series 3 box (which only buys you 25-30 hrs of HD space instead of the 20 hrs. on the regular HD unit), for around $70-$100 instead of the extra $300 the Series 3 costs. It's not a simple drop-in upgrade, but I think you might know someone who could do it for you...(we're going to see if 20 hrs of HD is enough for us, if not I'll likely install a larger drive myself and get 50-60 hrs.).

Noted and smilied.

20 hours is so not enough recording time
