What do I need to do to up grade my TiVo series2. I have 60 hours of recording time, how do I get more, like 120 hours of best quality???

Just as a note, I don't think you can quite get 120 hours of space with Best Quality. If you buy 2 160gb drives, you can only use 137gig on each (limit in the Linux kernel of the TiVO) for a total of 274gigs of space, or around 350 hours at basic quality (based on the info on the Hinsdale site that 240gigs gets you 306 hours). If you record everything at best quality, that works out to roughly 105 hours, and you are going to spend alot of money of 2 160gig drives (of which 15% of the space on each drive can't be used).

If you get a pair of 120gig drives, you can probably get about 90 hours of best quality recording.

Just an FYI to help set your expectations properly. :D
