Modified HD TiVo Crams in 2TB of Storage

That's good for up to 292 hours of HD programming, equivalent to nearly two weeks of day-and-night viewing. All you need is $1,600 to spare.

Spotted by the bloggers at Engadget HD, the modded Series 3 TiVo comes courtesy of a Los Angeles-based outfit called WeaKnees, which has been selling hacked and tweaked TiVos since 2000. This particular WeaKnees TiVo comes with a pair of 1TB hard drives—one internal, and another external (the external drive has its own power cord). WeaKnees says the two drives work together seamlessly to give you a total of 2TB of storage—nearly 10 times has much storage that you get on the standard Series 3 TiVo (which manages a mere 32 hours of HD recording).

Of course, the WeaKnees Series 3 TiVo also comes with a heart-stopping price tag: $1,599, to be exact, and that's after a $200 rebate. There's also the matter of buying a tweaked TiVo from a no-name manufacturer—sounds a little iffy, but apparently there's a 30-day return policy and a 180-day warranty.

So any of you video junkies out there jonesing for a 2TB TiVo?
