==Models==
The first models released were the 2000 series from ReplayTV (the company name at that time). In 1999, the price of the ReplayTV 2001 was $995 and it
provided 6 hours of video storage. The ReplayTV model 2004 was $1,995 and provided 26 hours. Each of these models included a lifetime offer of
program guide service.<ref>{{cite web |url=//www.replaytv.com/order.html |title=ReplayTV Holiday Order Special |date=1998-12-05 |access-date=2011-06-23 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19981205130618/http://www.replaytv.com/order.html |archive-date=December 5, 1998 }}</ref> The ReplayTV 2020 model, offering 20 hours of recording storage, was also released in 1999 at a cost of $699. It replaced the previously released models.

In the year 2000 the 3000-series models were released, as well as an equivalent "ShowStopper" model branded by Panasonic.
This was followed by the 4000 line in the fall of 2001. The 4000-series models were the first to include an Ethernet port, and to support the
sharing of shows between different units either locally (using video streaming) or over the Internet (by duplicating the content).

In 2002 the 4500-series was released. These had hardware that was much like the 4000-series, but they could be purchased without lifetime program guide service for a substantially reduced price. All subsequent models also unbundled the guide service from the hardware. Units without lifetime activation become
almost completely unusable if the monthly activation is terminated.
