Betty has had an HD DirecTV box for a while now and she loves it.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s based on Tivo so it’s easy to use and she was able to go from my first Tivo hand-me-down to this with no trouble.<\/p>\n

I decided if I’ve got a 55″ TV I should at least see how it looks with HD so I started checking DirecTV to see what they had.\u00c2\u00a0 They no longer offer the Tivo based unit that Betty has but have created their own.\u00c2\u00a0 They must have paid Tivo a pretty good chunk of money to get out of the deal they had with them.<\/p>\n

The new DVR(HR20)<\/a> works very well but it’s just not Tivo.\u00c2\u00a0 The main thing I miss is being able to 30 second skip.\u00c2\u00a0 It has a 30 second FF but it isn’t instant like Tivo.\u00c2\u00a0 It also won’t handle off-air HD for another month when DirecTV will roll out a software upgrade.\u00c2\u00a0 They forgot to mention that at Circuit City when I bought it but it didn’t take long to find out.<\/p>\n

It’s not a bad machine but I did get spoiled with Tivo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
