I just took delivery of a DirecTV tuner/Tivo combination. If you like your TV you should really consider one of these Tivo gadgets or a competitor. We've had a Dishplayer (sort of version 0.9beta of what's now sold as UltimateTV) for a couple years and, in spite of annoying minor problems with it over the years, being able to record stuff any time at the click of a button and rewind, pause, FF, etc. while watching a live show really do change the way you watch TV. Can't wait to get it installed on Saturday

BTW I would stay away from the Dishplayer if you find anybody selling them. The minor problems turned major (which means my unit started behaving the way many of them had for the last year or so already), culminating in me missing almost every single episode of last week's Daria marathon on MTV!!

So I'm making the switch to Tivo and DirecTV.
