ReplayTV Upgrade

I bought a 200 GB hard drive from CompUSA today for $70 and installed it in my ReplayTV 5040. The Replay was easy to take apart and the instructions here for using RTVPatch helped a lot. I had an empty Firewire drive enclosure so I just used that rather than bothering with putting the drives in my computer to do the patching. I also didn't bother attempting to back up my mpeg partition with RTVPatch. I just copied a few shows (can you say grocery shopping penguin!) I wanted to keep with DVArchive. I now have 66 hours and 56 minutes of space available at high quality. W00t! Perhaps I'll need to find some new shows to start recording. Any suggestions?
