    DirecTv and TiVo

    This is another example of what I mean when I say "content discovery". Being able to record a show I cannot find does not help me. While it is possible that, given enough time, an HR20/21 can add all the features that TiVo has, but would it not be better to just let us buy (even just as an...

    DirecTv and TiVo

    People who want useful features. How about Amazon Unbox with its ability to give one truly on-demand content, or Rhapsody for Music. TiVo service is not more important than content, but it is the ability to discover content, not just record things about which you already knew that makes...

I keep getting phone calls from DirecTv telling me that I am going to have to replace my HR10 if I want to keep DirecTv. At my house in Florida, I do not...
