...a Series 2 TiVo with a bad hard drive? I decided to just buy a new box and now I have a TiVo that just needs a new hard drive, but I don't know if it's worth trying to sell. Sorry if this is a stupid question. :)

EDIT: Oh, I should have mentioned it's 13 months old and refurbished, one of the TSN540XXX models. And also, please understand I am not trying to sell it here, only asking a question about its salability.

probably less than $20 :D
Heh. Probably cost more than that to ship it. It just seems weird to put it out with the trash. Maybe I'll hang on to it and pick up a hard drive at some point.
Do you have other s2's?? keep it for spare parts in case a fan dies or something
Yeah, I've got two other S2's. That's a good idea. Thanks.

at *least* bring it to an electronics recycler. Throwing away electronics is bad.
bury it in your backyard in a time capsule!
Well, as it turns out, I am sending it back to TiVo. When I called to cancel service on it, I mentioned that I was never able to speak to a tech support person because I hung up after 45 minutes BOTH times I called. The guy noticed I had four TiVos and told me to send it back and he would send me a Dual Tuner replacement. Pretty nice considering the dead one was 13 months old and out of warranty. I know people have sometimes had difficulty with Customer Service, but in this case, they obviously went the extra yard. Ask for Fernando when you call! :D
Well as long as we're asking, what about a Sony SVR-2000, 120 hrs, lifetime service?

eBay?
The remote control could be worth more than the rest of the box.
