Did something similar - stacked a lifetime Tivo on top of the lifetime Replay, so I have a "dual-tuner" capability as well (300GB in the Tivo, 250GB in the Replay)
Nicest thing about my Series 2 Tivo is Amazon Unbox - free horror movies on there now, and plenty of 99 cent movie rentals every weekend.
If you're patient, you can pick up a Series 2 lifetime Tivo for under $250 on ebay (the one I bought last year was about $200, but it had a bad drive)
[quote davester]Perhaps you weren't quite aware of the capabilities of your ReplayTV. I have ReplayTV and can record two shows at once and I have 400 gb of capacity (and it automatically skips commercials and can stream two shows simultaneously to two TVs). The secret: 1) increasing HD capacity in a replay is child's play; 2) I have two replays that are hooked to different TVs and stream shows to one another over ethernet. Still far superior to TiVo (except maybe the HD TiVo).
