I've seen results that people haven't had to BUY the hd from tivo directly.

I've been able to find it elsewhere as cheap as 238.

If that won't work, can I buy it from both places, activate one and send the tivo 299 one back (how will they know the product number)

Heh. Only a thought.

Edit: New Info, another option (though not cheaper)

Get an email from TiVo about a lifetime transfer? Yes! That will work with the WeaKnees units below. See the blog for more info.

May I ask where you found it as low as 238?

Am I understanding right that the lifetime transfer is ONLY good for the TivoHD and not the Series3?

I found it here lisa for 234.88 http://www.electronics-expo.com/index.php?page=item&ci_src=5784816&id=TVOTCD652160 , + Shipping (Which according to pricegrabber was 12$)

Amazon for 253.88 (shipping included)

The current promotion is only for the TivoHD, and supposadly only for tivo's bought from tivo directly (or, it appears weekness).

I'm having a second questions now, is it possible to upgrade the TivoHD with a 2ND harddrive (add not replace)? Thats my perferred method, but I know this was harder to do with the series 2, and possibly the series 3/hd. My series one has been chugging with 2 harddrives for a looong time though.

Go the Series 3/Tivo HD forum and read the sticky post about eSATA drives to learn more about adding an additional drive.

I'd Perfer internal if possible. Does make me worried though, what happens if you remove an esata drive after its been used...

It has been confirmed you can also purchase at Retail. What an awesome price.

It has been confirmed by whom? By TiVo?
