If you replace any hardware, you void the warranty.  Otherwise the 
hacks are semi-condoned and supported on a major TiVo forum.  All of 
the hacks that you do without changing code were put in there by TiVo 
in the first place.

I've owned 4 TiVo's now (2 still work, lightning is evil) and you can't 
ask for a more easier to use, full featured, hacker friendly box out 
there.

And yes, i tried RePlay.  They're great once you get the TV show on it, 
but prior to that it is a horrendous pain to record shows, especially 
syndicated ones.  TiVo does a much better job.
