A) It runs linux. It uses ext2 (except for the portion where it actually
   stores the data which is propritary)

B) You do not, and should not hot-swap your drives. You hook your new
   drive into your home computer. Run a program to prepare it for the
   tivo. Power the tivo off, and plug your drive into the standard ide
   cable. It's not much more complicted than adding a drive to a standard
   PC. 

C) There are people who have added 80 GB drives to the previously existing
   15GB drive. So there is no twice the size limit.
