Received DirecTv mailer today, new DIRECTV TiVo software coming in 2008

I just received a mailer from DirecTv. Here's the text:

As a DIRECTV/TiVo customer, you'll soon have access to the latest innovations such as:

• DIRECTV REMOTE BOOKING
  Forgot to set up a recording before you left the house? Simply schedule recordings remotely by visiting directv.com.
  
• RECENTLY DELETED FOLDER
  Quickly restore deleted programs to your "Now Playing" list.
  
• OVERLAP PROTECTION
  Never worry about recording conflicts again. For consecutively scheduled recordings that overlap, TiVo will clip the ending of the first show or beginning of the second (based on the higher priority), but will never cancel one of your recordings.

These new features are completely FREE and you don't need to do anything to get them. In early 2008, the enhancements will automatically download to your DIRECTV Receiver, as long as it is connected to a land-based phone line.

So sit back, relas, and continue to enjoy the nation's best television experience with DIRECTV. And know that DIRECTV and TiVo will continue to explore ways to bring future enhancements to our valued DIRECTV customers with TiVo service.

Thanks you for being a loyal DIRECTV customer.

Quite interesting. It would seem that maybe DIRECTV and TiVo are partnering again? What are the bets that they introduce a TiVo HD type device that will work with DIRECTV in high def? (and only DIRECTV)...

I actually just cancelled DIRECTV and bought a TiVo HD and have been happily running on cable service. I'm quite surprised to have received the mailer.
