there's no help for you
it won't work period.

[tharaw]

why not

[Gunnyman]

because the Dtivo doesn't have a couple of things needed
1) a video ENCODER the video stream from Directv is already encoded mpeg2 video so all it has to do is decode the stream for playback
2) a tuner that can tune in anything besides Directv's satellites.
