reply to fifty nine the direcTV branded DVRs are really not that bad. i used to think the same way until i wanted an HD DVR and went with their branded boxes. after using them for a few weeks, i was surprised at how well they worked. things were a little quirky coming from tivo, but it was just a matter of getting used to where they placed things and how to do the same things with different menus. i really like the direcTV DVRs now.
reply to fifty nine Series3 TiVos are awesome. They're just way too costly:
1) Cost of equipment 2) Cost of TiVo Service 3) Cost of two CableCARDs
TiVo made a lot more sense on DirecTV where the service fee was smaller (and covered a whole house), and the boxes were partially subsidized. Fortunately new DirecTV HD TiVos are supposedly coming the second half of this year . -- AT&T U-Hearse Your funeral. Delivered.
