Some Tivo boxes had 330uF 200V caps in them so they have to be offering that value at 160V or higher for a better price. (EDIT: don't be too picky about brand or physical size/packaging either)
* 10% difference from original capacitance value is WELL within tolerance of the original so it will be fine.

Well I was looking under the panasonics, nichicons, united chemicons, cornel dubiliers and vishay/spragues and only vishay/sprague had the values I needed no one else carried them for some reason or another.
but I'll look again under the 330 MFD values and the 200 and 250 Volt caps.
EDIT: I adjusted the search parameters over at Mouser for the more modern capacitor ratings and it came back with results so apparently what I'll need to order are:
68 MFD 350 V
330 MFD 160 Volts
220 MFD 160 Volts
So which brand do you suggest that I go with? Nichicon, Panasonic, or United Chemicon?
Also how would I go about mounting the new capacitors in this TV since the old ones were cans mounted in brackets?
