Actually, if the eSATA port is enabled, you can put a 500GB drive on there and more than triple your capacity for about $200-250.
What's interesting to me about this is what a huge hole the approval of this device (assuming it is, in fact, CableLabs approved) pokes in the theory that Multi-Room Viewing and eSATA are disabled on the TiVo Series 3 because of CableLabs. TiVoToGo doesn't have an analogous feature on this box, but MRV and eSATA clearly do, and those are the two announced-but-not-active features I'm really dying for on my S3.
If this thing's getting approved with an M-Card, then why on earth can't they get the lead out on the S3 with twin CableCards?
