What's the difference, if any, between TiVo Series 2 models TCD240080
and TCD24008A?

Ah, I was onto you. Especially because the difference between 80 and
8A is A, not one!

No worries...now, do you know the answer to the original question?
Anyone else know?

Well, putting those models and 'difference' into google gave me
the answer right there, from a couple tivo related forums.
This post, from nob 2004, sums it all up:

Actually, if you look further on that same page, you'll see that there
are disagreements about that. In fact, my model TCD24008A was bought
brand new and was recently replaced with a refurbished TCD240080. The
reason I asked the question was to determine whether this was a
downgrade or a sideways move.

I'd guess the latter as S**n never bothered or cared enough to
nymshift.

Whack jobs like those two ALWAYS seem to be willing to waste their time
going to that much trouble.
