Yeah. Even *with* 300GB drives inside the Replay, DVArchive is indispensable.
As someone else said, owning ReplayTV is a reason to have a Windows box. It doesn't have to be fancy, but it sure comes in handy for upgrades, for sticking more storage online, and for doing some of the heavy lifting for the videos--for example, I use VideoReDo Plus to edit the Replay files to take out commercials. And there are some tools to put the edited files back into DVArchive, so you can store them and watch them without commercials even being there.
