eBay is a great idea. If you are technically inclined you might also be
able to obtain a 40 hour unit and upgrade the disk drive with a much larger
one and get hundreds more hours of recording time. Look for a sale on the
160 or 250G drives with a rebate. Google "tivo upgrades" and you'll find
weaknees, 9thtee, and ptvupgrade. I think the first two will upgrade the
TiVo box for you; but, you'll find it cheaper if you can buy the parts and
do the upgrade yourself.
