TIVO question about upgrading

My Series 1 TIVO (hacked) has just crapped out on me.

I believe it's a HD failure. I have the infamous GREEN SCREEN OF DEATH error.

Here is where ATOT comes in.

Should I purchase a brand new TIVO? Or should I try and fix this piece of crap HD?

Getting a new drive will be around $150 for a nice sized one.

Getting a 40 hour TIVO will be around $150 after rebate.

AGH! Help me ATOT
 
get new series 2....one and then upgrade the drive later
just upgraded my series 2 yesterday with a 120gb B drive

very very nice

I say get an ebay HD deal or something... Or just try using a spare hard drive to figure out if that's really the problem...

Are there really major differences, other than the media sharing that costs extra money?
 
i went to BB and got this:

Toshiba SD-H400

It was $432.99 after tax. I had a bunch of gift cards from Xmas and from work (I won them). It came to $300.

Then Best Buy was offering a $100 rebate on it. And then Tivo was offering a $50 rebate on it.

So my end price comes to $150 after rebates and stuff!

What do you guys think?
 
Just get a series 2. DirecTivo Series 2 can be had for $49.99 after rebate if you look in the right place.

That's a good price for it with the 100 dollar rebate. I picked one up at computers4sure for around 359 shipped about 2 months ago. It comes with free basic TIVO which is all I need. Right now I'm on the free trial, but it runs out in the next day or so. I don't think the features in the subscription based package just 12 dollars a month.
