Re: Let me guess...

said by inteller See Profile :

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).

i'm so sick of hearing about DirecTiVo. I once asked a guy if he slept with his more than his wife. DirecTV itself is trash, I cant see TiVo helping that much.
