I already have one and cannot live without it, but am seriously considering another for the other TV I have. A $50 pricetag only makes it sweeter. Thanks.

And, remember, if you have more than one, subscriptions for the additional units are only $6.95 a month.

Does anyone know what happens if you cancle the service and restart it?
I ask because I'm going to be working at a good job for about another year and can afford the monthly service. In a year I start grad school and money's going to be really tight. If I pay monthly for a year, then cancle it, would I be able to reactivate the tivo later?

Hmmm, well from what i see if you want to upgrade the unit, the silver one can accept drives over 137gb while the black cannot.

To my knowledge there is no difference in the kernel between the 2 tivos that you speak of. Tivo software is based on linux. A way around has been found and it can be found at Tivo community. As far as I know it will work on any unit even the series 1. I have not tried it I am very green at linux. I stuck to a 120Gig and now my direct tivo will hold 107 hours of recordings.
Either way no tivo will accept the full size of a drive of larger than 137Gig out of the box. Hacking is required. If you are comfortable with that you are in.
