Directv Dvr

[Rando]

I came home yesterday and had lost power to my home sometime during the day. MY H10 TIVO unit would only bring up the Welcome Power Up screen and nothing else. I called DIRECTV and after trying several resets was told that they would have to send a new unit. However, I was told that they could send me a rebuilt Tivo unit or I could get a new non-TIVO DVR that DIRECTV is going to and that they were phasing out TIVO in favor of this newer technology. I assume this is true and that their new HD-DVR will not be TIVO but of this same technology.

I decided to go with the newer technology, especially since I will be upgrading to HD-DVR this fall. Any comments? Should I have stayed with a rebuilt TIVO unit?

You should have investigated replacing the HDD yourself firsts.

You should have read the dozens of posts from people who tried the new 'non-Tivo' DVR from Directv. None are too favorable from anyone used to the Tivo software.

Maybe he meant the R10?
