Probably not but it is kind of cool to go through the shows when there's nothing else to watch on TV. I think it's great to have for those days in.

I just checked out the ReplayTV site and the current price of the 5040 is $29.99 and includes Free Shipping!!

I am a newbie Replay owner - but I couldn't pass up this deal!!!

I bought TWO 5040 units at $29.99...Free Shipping...CA Sales Tax total came to $65.08 - Wow!

Can anyone tell me where I would begin with upgrading these units with larger capacity Hard Drives?

Thanks!!!

Where on earth are you seeing $29.99? If you're correct, let us know.

That can't be right. I have cleared all my cookies, added the item to my cart, and in fact checked out...and it did not show $29.99 at any point.

Replaytvoutlet.com still has them at $79.99...I'll say the info in my original post remains true unless someone else can confirm this, because it is not working for me.

Well, you are right that was my first posting - everybody has a first and mine was trying to be helpful and point out the price is now $29.99 and I purchased two of them - so I know it is sure.

I can't post a link because I am new here...so simply goto:

ReplayTV website

Then go to outlet store

then find the 5040

$29.99 Free Shipping

Enjoy!

i bought one 5 minutes ago for $49.99. Unambiguously this is the current price. BTW. What's the concensus pick for a hard drive upgrade? This will be my first upgrade.

Seagate 200 GB drives seem to be popular. I have a 200 GB Seagate in one and a Western Digital 250 GB in the other. The seagate seems to be slightly quieter. Both perform perfectly as of now :)

You guys do seem to be skeptical pricks but I'll try one more time to walk you through this....maybe it is how I conducted the price search.

Try doing the search through MySimon first:

Search for ReplayTV 5040

It is going to come up with a result and a price of $119 on MySimon result listing.

Click on Configure and Price and voila you should get the $29.00

On the shopping cart it will price at $49.99 and say ($20 Discount)

The subtotal will be $29.99 per unit. Total tax on 2 is $5.10

Why I'm explaining this is beyond me...not very grateful group.

If it still doesn't work let me know...just trying to be helpful.

Ok folks the 29.99 price has been confirmed.... Here is the link

http://www.digitalnetworksna.com/sho...romocode=MYS20

I'll start a new thread so that others can take advantage of this price...they may not read the entire forum before going and purchasing...now all of us that purchased at 49.00 are kicking our selves.

Great...glad that the $29.99 price worked. Was just trying to pass on some good news and hopefully gain the assistance of some people with experience in upgrading.

So, I am bought these 5040s....where do I turn to upgrade them. I would like them to have at least 140 Hrs. each.

Thanks!

Yep, I also can confirm the $29.99 price. I guess the MYS20 Promo code takes off $20...

Just buy large hard drives and then use RTV Patch (google it). Or if you want pre-formatted drives, email lizard_boy or mikeyboy.

OK, I got 2 more. If this pans out, I have no idea what I'll do with these.

How many of these could they possibly have???

This must be the last big push to rid themselves of the overstock. PlanetReplay seems to have called this, as I recall a post forecasting this a while back.

Well...I don't think there will be anymore overstock on these units ;)

From PlanetReplay:

ReplayTV 5000 Series Availability Limited

posted by administrator on 05/13/04

According to sources at Replay, supplies of the 5000 series (which include the Commerical Skip and Internet Video Sharing functions) may be dwindling. Since last year when Replay stopped making the 5000s, the units have been selling at a decent pace and it's estimated that within 60-90 days, the 5040 units may no longer be available from the ReplayTV online store. And based on the specials sales that are happening with the Pause & Win promotion, that time frame may be even shorter. Although the end of stock was predicted for last winter, but it appears that the activation fiasco last Christmas prolonged this end.

As always, there may be a few units that pop in and out of availability, including some of the 5080s and 5160s and especially some refurb units. But it's clear that the end is approaching on the new 5040s. If you want to get a unit that ships with Commercial Skip and Internet Video Sharing, it's time to buy!

Hey moviespot, just so you don't think your unappreciated here's the prop's you deserve.

It can get kind of crazy around here when deals come down. It's not that often that we get that kind of opportunity.

Anyway, to answer your question; just do a search here or look in the FAQ. It's been discussed a million times. Bottom line is: It's easy, fast and reliable. Go with a Maxtor drive, the bigger the better. Set it for Amset/quiet. Run the RTVPatch utility with the appropriate software, then enjoy.

All of this is available free of charge. I'd link but I'm too lazy.

Let's hope DNNA honors these prices. I can't imagine they meant for the MySimon link to be valid when they dropped the price to $49.99. I'm going to keep my original $49.99 orders intact just in case...at least until I am sure the 29.99 units will be shipped out.

No tax here, maximum of 5 :) I had two friends wanting 1 each at $50, so I got 3 for myself for $50 :) Thanks for sharing the info MovieSpot.

Thanks Andy for the tips. Maybe this was the wrong thread for that question. Peace.
