If all you're missing on their TiVo's is the "skip forward 30 seconds" functionality - just hit Select - Play - Select - 3 - 0 - Select on the remote while you're watching a recorded show, you'll hear three "ding" sounds, and the "Skip forward" button (under the FastForward button) will now skip ahead 30 sec.

So when's the RIAA/MPAA going to try to sue Al Gore for inventing the Internet, and causing them to lose profits? Let's just litigate some profit back into their business model!!! Yay!!!
I can't see this argument working well with the current crop of TiVo subscribers, who are used to retaining content for as long as they'd like. With the current TiVo boxes, you can even record off DVD (i.e. rentals) to your TiVo, and watch them as much as you'd like, since the recorder recognizes the Macrovision on the way in, and re-establishes it on output (so you couldn't make a VHS dub of the recorded DVD). I know of quite a few TiVo users that do this, and I can't see them liking losing this functionality. I know I'd be unhappy with this restriction, losing the content in as little as 24 hours.
WiebeTech http://www.wiebetech.com/ has some of the best FireWire and USB solutions around, I've been using their BayDocks for video editing for a while, and never had one failure. (knocking wood) Their ComboGB drive, with USB2, and Firewire 400+800 would probably serve your needs well. Disclaimer: Simply a satisfied user / not affiliated with the company in any way.....
