I paid for it around 9 p.m. yesterday; it has already shipped (FedEx 2-day). I got it for under $50. If all goes well, I'll have it set up and MRV working Thursday night. Why the Samsung?
1) I already have one, so I already have InstantCake and PTVNet CDs for it.
2) Samsung TiVos use standard Phillips-head screws, so no Torx driver is required (not that it's any big deal).
This one has a 120GB drive in it, and I still have the 80GB drive I took out of my other one (I replaced it with a 120GB Seagate). I have two unopened Seagate drives as well, so maybe I'll look for yet another Samsung on eBay, with or without a hard disk. I really could use a TiVo in my kid's room to record Dragon Tales, Buzz Lightyear, etc. :)

HR10-250, Samsung SIR-S4120R, SIR-S4080R, 2 Philips DSR704s (one connected to a Slingbox A/V). One box used the "Zipper"; rest used PTVnet to enable networking features.

I actually received it in one day, even though I paid for FedEx 2-day!
Anyway, I immediately removed the unit's hard disk and "baked" it (with PTVNet also). I ran SuperPatch and got my HMO and extraction working. I finally figured out how to get MRV and wireless working. Look here for the info (the original post was updated this month, so don't bother reading down the thread). Download the "wireless.zip" file and follow the directions. What was confusing was that I didn't realize that for the wireless to work, I had to unplug the USB200M and plug my Hawking WU250 into the same USB port. I hope that helps others who may have the issue. By the way, there is no need to edit /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.author and "#" the PTVNet networking lines (as suggested somewhere on DealDatabase). Digging through endless threads finally paid off.
Now for my new access card to get here.... For now, I'm watching recorded programs that are on my TiVo downstairs using MRV. :D
[UPDATE]
OK, 802.11b wasn't cutting it for transfers, so I used a WRT54G as an ethernet bridge.
