  For those of you who had the pst Tivo’s offered with DirecTV,  you finally can do away with them for the new HD model.  The recent models of HD DVR’s from DirecTV are sub par compared to the Tivo’s nicely featured interface.  DirecTV has apparently noticed this and decided to work with Tivo once again.  

 

The bad news is that the DVR is not set to launch until the 2nd half of 2009.  

 

Thanks for listening DirecTV,  finally someone listens.
