Almost seems too good to be true. With as easy as it is to upgrade the HD, whats the catch? (mind you I have not looked at the tivo forum for details)
The cable cards. That means no Interaction (Pay on Demand Channels) or ability to view channels that are being served only if someone on your node is watching (I forget the technical term but it has to do with preserving bandwidth by restricting the number of channels that are always available and using the "saved" bandwidth to feed multiple channels as needed).

It is impossible to create an idiot-proof product. Humanity is simply too adept at churning out better idiots.

Thanks. It is VERY frustrating when you suddenly draw a blank on a technical term like that (but remember the concept itself).
