TiVo and DIRECTV: Together Again?

Now, there still aren’t any real details about the implementation, but the vagueness continues to be troubling. Will it be a Series3 with DIRECTV tuners (yayyyy!) or a DIRECTV HD DVR with anemic support for TiVo functionality, (boooo!). I guess we’ll all find out in the 2nd half of 2009.

Meanwhile, if you want a TiVo and don’t want to sign/renew any contracts, check out the TiVo HD. It’s well worth it!

Some insightful comments and a suggestion that a reconciliation between TiVo and DirecTV might be imminent; probably wishful thinking, but the kinds of rumours we like!
