Scott any info on DVR "R-10"

[boba]

In a dealer newsletter I got from Directv the Directv branded R-10 DVR is supposed to be available in November, have you picked up any information on this unit? I was curious if this was going to be the non TiVo that has been rumored as coming?

This is the only page that I could find that dispalys the R10 (DVR80).It looks just like the RCA DVR80 Tivo that I have. This page was created 10/23/04.There also is a post in the DVR forum about this.

This is the Hughes TiVo that has been repackaged as the DIRECTV DVR. It's either an 80 or 100 GB

The new DIRECTV R-10 is a DVR-80. The only difference is that it will have a new firmware version and new DIRECTV APG and may have a new remote.

Should be available by Thanksgiving. I'll post a more through update tomorrow.

The specs say it will have now playing folders and if you look at the icons next to the now playing shows they are different on page 2. You can't see them very well,but they are different.

Where did you see images? I wouldn't mind a peek at the screen.

On this page here if you scroll down there is some very small screen shots.If you look at the icons they are a different color.I asume these are folders. I'd like to see more.
