I have two DirecT Tv Tivo's (HR10-250 (still waiting for rebate mind you) and R10). I am thinking of getting Non-direcTv Tivos (series 2) so I can transfer between units, HMO, TIvo to Go, and other cool things I will probably never use but sound cool.
So, I know some of these are dumb but...
1) Does this mean I would have a regular DirecTv receiver and the Tivo would be between the DirecTv Receiver and the TV? If so, is the Tivo only going to be as fast (ie: Guide) as the Receiver? Meaning, so I need a fancy DTV receiver or can it just be a junk one on the backend?
2) If I get rid of my DTV Tivo's (here I come ebay) and get Regular Series 2 Tivos, I need to pay their monthly or lifetime fee I assume. Does this mean I won't have to pay the monthly DirecTV "Tivo Service" Fee on top of that? Or do they still get me? Any other fees/charges I should be aware of?
3) I have not seen any of the Series 2 Tivo's saying they are High Def. This is the one (and only, frankly) thing I like about the HR10-250. Are they?
Just trying to get out of the "Its a Direct Tv Tivo so no upgrade and no HMO features" Stranglehold without breaking the bank.
