Also on my older HD TiVos I have changed out the HD to a larger one.
It's too much of a pain since our two desktops (the ones containing our PII, financial records, etc.) are behind an interior firewall and IPS, and only access a handful of trusted websites via proxy. Plus, all hard-drives use strong encryption (I'm something of a security/privacy zealot)....and transferring media files to or from a TivoHD is already slow enough. I was hoping to pickup a 2 TB Moxi last year, but I may have to finally build.an HTPC
