Quick Q (or two) for any UK TiVo people

Hello peeps

As a newbie TiVo I am keen to upgrade my uk 'Thompson Scenium' to a larger capacity. However, I have come across a couple of issues and don't want to rush into buying a drive (or two) and then find out i can't use it. So I was hoping someone could confirm or answer these short questions which will no doubt be blindingly obvious to most people but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere:

1) What model is the 'Thompson Scenium' TiVo? - all the available upgrade kits seem to be for the american models - The Hindsdale guide does not include the uk model when describing what kind of TiVos there are. Is there an american equivalent of this model? - ie what model should I select that I have if getting an upgrade kit

2) Will there be space for two hard disks in the 'Thompson Scenium'? or will i need to buy a bracket if I want to run two HDs? - Apparently there isn't space in some models. I'd be quite keen on getting two 120GB HDs to have running inside my TiVo if I could.

3) Am I right in thinking that buying one 200GB disk would require a lot of hassle in sorting out the Kernel of my TiVo so I am better getting drives under 127GB?

4) What would be a good 120GB HD to buy if I didn't go via the 'upgrade kit' route?

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Have a merry christmas!!
