Guys,
I'm guessing you have some valid points; however, the Tivo works great
and I'm only selling it because I'm moving to Perth Australia for work.


I don't think anybody is doubting that. If someone wants to buy a modded
box, they just have to accept that it doesn't come with a warranty. Since
the most likely thing to fail (i.e. the Hard drives) are easy to replace,
it shouldn't be that big a deal.

Randy,
You are too correct. I changed out the HD in mine because I was getting
greedy with the CSI episodes. :-)
I will include a Tivo restore image CD with the unit if the buyer wants
it.

Since I haven't actually gotten any decent offers yet. I guess it will be
more productive to just put it up for sale on FeeBay.

Inm not saying that it isnt a fine unit. In fact if i had the money i'd surely
make you a fair offer. I just meant that its really past being under warranty
now. But if its fully working , lifetime service and that large a storage it
is a good deal none the less.


PS: enjoy Australia.

Hello All,
I have a Tivo Series 2, Model TCD140060. Active Lifetime Subscription.
It has a Linksys USB WiFi adapter running. I had it upgraded it so that the
primary drive is a 120GB 7200RPM and the secondary is a 160GB 7200 RPM. It
also has a fully transferable Best Buy Service Plan (which covers it if the
unit dies etc within 4 years?). I also have the original Box and paperwork.
Cosmetically and electronically the Tivo and factory remote are great.
When I added the 2nd HD I had a machine shop drill a 6x6 hole grid over the
HD's
to allow for additional airflow. It works great and stays nice and cool!

TiVo is offering the 80 Hr Humax Series2 TiVo for $99 after rebates.
( no holes in the top cover )

Jack,
I tell you what, you buy that Humax, then pay for a lifetime Sub, and
then upgrade to 320 Hours of storage and THEN we'll compare apples to
apples. Otherwise thanks for nothing.

Yeah, I thought that was a little bit out of left field. The Humax deal
is nice, but doesn't include extra storage and the lifetime sub, both of
which have a good bit of additional value as you note.

If you do set this up for auction, please post a link to it here in this
group. I am mildly interested in the unit but I have no idea how much it is
worth so I don't know how much to offer. If I could see competitive binding
bids I could judge whether my 'perceived value' of the product is within my
'discretionary spending limits' (toy account).

You may think my remarks were out of left field, but do you believe Wayne
can sell the DVR for what he thinks it is worth? A new DVR won't have holes
drilled in the top cover. Doing that reduced the value of the unit significantly.

My point was that not even TiVo believes DVRs are worth as much as
the original price.

Wayne hasn't stated a price AFAIK, so I don't know what he believes it's
worth. But a lifetime sub is worth close to $300 (somewhat less because
of the risk that the "lifetime" could be shortened due to the lack of
warranty), and the extra space is worth a good bit to someone who could
use it, particularly someone who wouldn't want to hack the box themselves.
