| would you Directivo owners quit bitching about that box. That box is DEAD. Yes it was SOOOO wonderful back in 2001 (or whenever it was) but Tivo and DirecTV have parted ways. that box didn't even use TiVo encoders, so from TiVos perspective it really can't help that box when it doesnt have control of all the software functions. |

Even when it was current, even when DirecTV and TiVO hadn't parted ways, it was still dead in the water. No (offical) network support and very delayed software updates. And the stupid phone line requirement you couldnt even ACTIVATE the box to record without a phone line (fixed with a hack, however).

When it comes time to upgrade to HD, I'll just get the receiver and get a real Tivo. |

Yep, I agree, that stinks Jon. Inteller, Directv is NOT trash, maybe you don't like them (for whatever reason, none that I can think of), but millions of us do. I'll take their service over cable's anyday, if it wasn't for only being able to get HSI through Comcast (formerly Adelphia here), we'd be done with the cable companies completely. |
