ReplayTV is
one of the more interactive personal video recorders on the
market. In addition to their low end models, which offer all the
usual PVR features such as recording, ReplayTv units offer
on-screen program guide and scheduling, live tv pause and more,
their high end receivers offers features such as broadband
connectivity, inter-connectivity, ability to swap shows with
friends over the Internet, download photos from your PC and
more.
A ReplayTv hard drive upgrade is one of the most requested
upgrades. Most ReplayTV units come with a smaller 40GB hard
drive, which can usually only hold up to 35 hours of programming.
A ReplayTV hard drive upgrade can increase your recording
capacity dramatically up to hundreds of hours depending on the
size of your new hard drives and configuration. A ReplayTV hard
drive upgrade will require a new larger computer hard drive,
available from most computer and electronics stores.
All ReplayTV models can be upgraded, including the Replay 4xxx
and Replay 5xxx models. Older Replay 2xxx and Replay 3xxx models
can be upgraded as well, however they have a 137GB ceiling per
drive. Since ReplayTV units can hold up to 2 drives (X 137GB),
this gives you up to 274 hours of possible storage. Newer models
are capable of holding even larger hard drives, if you should
require them. There is a ceiling on the newer ReplayTV units as
well, due to memory constraints. Extremely large upgrades will
experience out of memory errors occasionally.
If your ReplayTV came originally with only one hard drive, it
is advisable that you upgrade to a single larger hard drive.
Although it is possible to add a second hard drive, the dual
drive upgrade will modify your original ReplayTV drive, so you
cannot revert back to it if something should go wrong. Another
consideration is that there are no brackets available to hold a
second drive for single factory units, so you will have to
fabricate one or use another method of securing the second drive,
such as plastic ties or zap straps.
The ReplayTV upgrade guides are broken down into 2 categories.
Choose the appropriate guide based on the computer operating
system you have (Windows XP/2000/ME/98/95 Etc)

Matthew McConaughey milks his well-established romantic-comedy persona yet again, within an amusing premise. He plays a commitment-phobic photographer who's reunited with a former flame (Jennifer Garner) at his brother's (Breckin Meyer) wedding -- but he also encounters ghosts representing the past, present and future of his very active love life. Michael Douglas also is enjoyable as the specter of the McConaughey character's late uncle.

Screamers: The Hunting
SYFY
9:00 pm ET
It's anybody's guess why someone would bother pouring money -- OK, not much money, but still -- into a sequel to a largely forgotten 1995 sci-fi horror flop, and this gore-soaked but otherwise unremarkable 2009 "Aliens" wannabe, about a rescue team that encounters a race of murderous half-human, half-machine hybrids on a distant planet, will not leave you any the wiser. Gina Holden, Jana Pallaske and the ubiquitous Lance Henriksen star.
The Nanny Diaries
