    That one should be fine! :) Since NDS's (the designer of directv's new, as yet unreleased dvr) core business is data security (they design and provide the smart card conditional access system for directv and many other satellite and cable providers worldwide) I would tend to think that their...

    The R10 units have a chip that needs to be physically replaced to be able to access the system.

    DirecTV poised to take on TiVo

    DirecTV poised to take on TiVo Isn’t that a little like saying: I mean, it’s not like tivo has any say about it. Directv can use what they want, and will. “(Some say tivo can survive) But others are less sanguine”. ... “Less sanguine”??? How many years have we seen “The End of Tivo” and...
