If those USB ports are master ports then I guess you could probably connect a USB HD to it and archive off your programmes. And it would also mean that you don't need to add the TiVoNET board to get ethernet. This is pure speculation since I haven't seen a series 2 TiVo.

I wouldn't personally pay the extra $400 though

I haven't received a sticker but then again I'm in the UK.
