WeaKnees takes TiVo HD units to 2TB
Earlier this year, we saw that WeaKnees was offering up TiVo HD boxes with enough storage to hold a staggering 144 hours of HD content, and now the company is aiming to make a few holiday wishes come true by more than doubling that previous number. You heard right, TV packrats can now order up a TiVo HD Series 3 DVR from WeaKnees that can hold 292 hours of HD programming (or 2,800 hours of SD content). The DVR itself will house a 1TB SATA hard drive and come bundled with a 1TB external drive, and will cost you a whopping $1,599 (after $200 rebate, no less) to claim one as your own.

$1,599 is alot of bread for that amount of hard drive space considering I bought two external 750GB Western Digital My Books for $179 a piece for my Dish Network ViP622 HD DVR receiver. I can see the advantage of the internal hard drive modification, because having to constantly moving films over to the external hd to the weak sauce internal can get a bit of an annoyance of times.

Agreed. I have a total of 2TB for my Dish 722 and it cost me much less than $1600. Of course, the box (500GB) was free, then I have a 750 ($180) a 500 ($100) and an old 250 ($70). So that's $350 plus the dvr...which even if I bought it would cost much less than $1250...

I think it's kind of surprising that they can find people that think it's worth that price. I'd think that the buyers would have to be completely ignorant of the parts cost and of the amount of labor required.
