So I have an 80-hour Humax TiVo, a NetGear WGR614 wireless 802.11g router, an Athlon 1300 (motherboard: A7V133), and a 768/128 DSL connection.

Does the following:
1) Buy <a href="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822144392">this</a> 320GB WD IDE hard drive from NewEgg.
2) Buy one of the TiVo-recommended <a href="http://www.tivo.com/2.7.asp">wireless adapters</a>, or possibly a wireless ethernet bridge like the one I have on my iMac now.
3) Install the HD and put Windows XP on it as the new master drive.
4) Install the wireless adapter on the TiVo and connect it to the network.
5) Install TiVo Desktop on my PC.
6) Enjoy newfound storage space for archiving TiVo programming, TiVo-recorded programs on my PC, and such via TiVoToGo.

seem like a plausible course of action?

Alternate ending:
7) Add a DVD burner to my system as well.
8) Hello, easy archiving and video DVDs.
