Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does anyone have one of the HD TiVos yet? I'm looking for owner opinions. I've been poking around Weaknees now that I've seen that TiVo will let you transfer your lifetime account (but for $199!) from an older model. I wrinkle my nose at "(no video transfer from the unit)".

Trust my rage
THeo, I tried iMovie first but it converted the clip into 12GB AND had sound only.
I"ll try the other suggestions - thanks!

I have one. I thought that the $199 lifetime service transfer was a limited time offer that expired near the beginning of this year. Has that changed?
As far as the no tivo-to-go (no video transfer) issue, that's currently true, but supposedly they're going to start pushing through a software update that will allow it in the next month or so.

Jon,
the offer goes until 11/8

Hmm. That makes it a bit more palatable.

Huh. I'd no idea they extended it. Cool.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Wake up - it's time to die buy a new HD for my MacBook.
Poking around here [link] - how much of a performance difference will I notice for the various RPM drives (say, between 5400 rpm and 7200 rpm)? I'm looking to get a drive between 160GB and 250GB for my 2 GHZ MacBook.I might want to, say, save a movie to HD and play it. Not sure how much video editing I'll be doing in the future. Is 5400 rpm adequate?
eta: And any recommendations on drive manufacturers?

All is well that ends in pizza.
It all depends on the sustained Mb/s of the drives, although the faster the spin the faster the throughput, in general.
However, the faster the spin the more power consumption, as well. HDDs in laptops used to be generally a bit slower, 4500 when desktops were 5400 for run-of-the mill uses.
I also know that the number of heads plays a factor. So the best I can come up with is keep an eye on the Mb/s and not so much the spindle speed.
Others may have more up-to date information.

Ah, I had forgotten about the whole 'higher rpm = higher power consumption' thing. Maybe I'll settle for 5400 rpm and save some $. (The current drive is 5400.)
