LAS VEGAS—DirecTV rolled out its own home-grown DVR strategy, with products due to debut in mid-2005. The DirecTV DVR will initially support SD video only, and will save up to 100 hours of TV. The DVR is also part of a new interactive DirecTV push that will offer video on demand, and other services. The DIRECTV DVR will compete head on with TiVo-based DirecTV branded DVRs. The company will continue to offer both "for the foreseeable future", claimed a rep at the company's booth.

Why would I want a D* DVR for SD only when I have TIVO and am waiting to see what they end up doing for all the current HD-DVR users they have after announcing their direction (IE different ant/equipment for mpeg4 HD)for the next few years ahead????
