Saving Tivo > direct tv tivo is not that good

said by sparks:

I have a directtv unit and most of the features such as the usb ports are disabled, I am sure that is DTV not wanting you to use anything. S L O W guides..I MEAN SLOW
I try to scroll down the thing goes blank and slowly fills in...its S L O W....let me check did I say slow...this is junk in my opinion..takes minutes to find anything on the guide.
BUT wild card searches are great. MOST won't do this but tivo does.

the ratings buttons in my opinion are a joke.
but thats just me.

oh yea people are saying hd updates, well the new usb externals that direct tv was supposed to support, I did mention the blocked usb ports didn't I ?

I think that direct has blocked any expansion of tivo on their systems so they will bring out their own junk and charge out the butt and it will have some of the features that tivo has now. IF direct tivo was full tivo it would be better, but those guides they have to fix.
