Just got my ReplayTV a couple weeks ago. Cost me $699 plus shipping for a 10 hr. version. If I watched a lot of TV, I'd use up the space almost instantaneously. Steve: the ReplayTV box does have a Firewire expansion port which I belive Tivo does not. ReplayTV costs more up front, however no monthly fees are charged. If you include the $200 Tivo charges for a lifetime subsription, the two are identical in price. I'm a computer engineer, so I'll be taking my ReplayTV box apart this weekend to see if I can upgrade the hard drive to a larger, faster one. I'll try to copy the drive using some PowerQuest utilities on my PC. I believe that the ReplayTV box has a slight technological advantage to Tivo. That why I bought it.
