- Hacking the ReplayTV -
A popular project for somewhat technically savy ReplayTV owners
is to modify or "hack" their ReplayTV unit. ReplayTV hacking is
not about getting something for free, rather it is about
modifying their ReplayTV and customizing it to their needs. One
example is a ReplayTV hard drive upgrade, which allows a much
greater amount of video recording time.
There are a great abundance of replaytv upgrade tools and
utilities that you can use to add new functionality to your
ReplayTV, this page will help you choose some of the more popular
ones.
Setting aside all of its bells and whistles, a ReplayTV is
essentially a computer running a modified Linux operating system.
All programs and user options are stored on a standard computer
hard drive. Some ReplayTV upgrades can be done with just a little
knowledge of the Linux operating system. some other modifications
however require a better understanding.

Then he finds out she's been widowed more than once ... under mysterious circumstances. Could we have a black widow on our hands here? Well, "The Black Widow" was this movie's original title. Just sayin'.
