It would be nice if going back to TiVo didn't mean losing OTA support or web based scheduling, but added TiVo to Go.]]>Sep 3rd 2008 10:42AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/Sep 3rd 2008 10:43AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/Sep 3rd 2008 5:07PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/Sep 4th 2008 6:38PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/
LONG time TiVo owner. LONG time DTV user. Was a sad day when the DTV HD-Tivo became obsolete. The HR20 has been a great receiver, but it's NO TiVo.]]>Sep 3rd 2008 10:18AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/Sep 17th 2008 11:59AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/Sep 3rd 2008 11:00AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/Sep 3rd 2008 11:13AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/
and i would be over the moon ecstatic if the tivo's could share content in the same home, so you can watch whatever is on another machine over an ethernet network or such. ]]>Sep 3rd 2008 5:12PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/

I whole heartedly agree! I've had DirecTV for about 10 years and have seen many, many receivers come and go. I'm STILL holding onto my last DirecTivo box upstairs (non-HD at that), even though it's connected to an HD TV. I just can't let it go. It does such a much better job than the the HR-20 and 21 units I have. Even my HD DirecTivo box was superior.

My only beef with DirecTivo boxes of old was the 30 minutes of recording when paused. ReplayTV allows longer; Dish used to allow until the HDD was full; HR20/21 allows for an hour now; it was only DirecTivo that allowed for 30 minutes. Ugh.

If they can fix that (even an hour would be a huge benefit), allow for cross-receiver watching, and add TivoToGo, I'm in. But then again, I'm in anyway. I want my Tivo!!!

Let's see how long it takes for them to actually release it though. "Second part of 2009" in DTV speak usually means late 2010. :P]]>Sep 3rd 2008 12:53PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/Sep 3rd 2008 1:43PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/
the only thing I've liked is the remote recording from the DirecTV website.

bring back Tivo!!]]>Sep 3rd 2008 2:05PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/

Just to be clear.]]>Sep 3rd 2008 3:52PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/
For example, as search for "Prison Break" for an LA subscriber returns 7 results (east coast SD, east coast HD, west coast SD, west coast HD, OTA HD, SD local, HD local), of which I can't even tune 2 and only have one in either of my channel lists.

The HD TiVo would only show the ones that were in the channel lists.

This failure makes all autorecord options worthless and makes it incredibly easy to "record" shows on channels you don't get.

Then there's the porn, foreign language and shopping channels that come up in the search as well....

DirecTV claims that their programmers are at a loss on who to fix this, which makes one wish for a TiVo every damn time.]]>Sep 3rd 2008 5:53PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/
i would get another one for upstairs if that were the case. And pay Directv for a second hookup! Four tuners- two to the living room dvr, 2 to the upstairs dvr. Playlists shared, to do list showing for both tivos without even worrying about what tivo was recording what show.

Oh that would be nice- no more stupid home remodeling and gay people redressing shows from my wife overwriting my Terminator show!

Give ti to us Directv!]]>Sep 4th 2008 12:16AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/Sep 4th 2008 1:02AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/Sep 16th 2008 9:33AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/03/hell-freezes-over-new-directv-hd-tivo-on-the-way/Sep 17th 2008 12:32AM
