I used to have DirecTv and loved it. Then along came TiVo and I used it with it and it too worked great. But when the TiVo S-3's came out without satellite capabilities I switched to cable.

Now I have too much invested in HD S-3 TiVo's to switch. But I am waiting for Cox Cable to integrate TiVo into their own boxes. Late 2008 or early 2009 is what I am hearing. Once done, I plan to check it out. If its not as expected or DirecTV has a Tivo like interface then I might switch back to them.

Bottom line for us, is if it doesn't use a TiVo like menu system and interface, we are out. ;)

dkaz said:I switched away from TiVo boxes in 2 of my rooms (DirectTV box was a better deal), and have not missed the TiVo menus a whole lot. The only thing I miss is some of the terminology - I miss my "season tickets" 

So you are running both cable and DirecTV? 

Maybe I need to to a test drive of the latest DirecTV and see if it wil work. 

Thanks for the heads up.

I have HD DirecTV and couldn't be happier! been a customer for around 8yrs. Onlt problem, and really isn't much of one, is when a updated receiver is needed, they SEEM to want to charge for it, Or, try and have me resign into a contract. SO FAR, things have worked in my favor. BEING I am a long time customer....

Don't know about any internet service they offer, but I do know, RUN AWAY AS FAST AS YOU CAN FROM HUGHESNET SATILITE INTERNET.
