*Double sigh* What does it matter? All these potential new channels, and I won't be getting most of them because I refuse to give up my Tivo HR10-250 for a crappy Directv receiver.
Don the HR10-250 is just the TIVO interface the receiver is I am correct is made by either Hughes or RCA. RCA actually makes one of the HR20s in the market, the HR20-100. If you want to stay in the past, be my guest. I have had both the HR10-250 and HR20-100 and yes it was a little painful but I have a 1 tb drive on my HR20 and I have hundreds of hours of HD recorded and at my disposal plus the upcoming VOD product for Directv. Yes you feel disinfranchised but get over it.
I love the Tivo interface as well (Two SD Tivos and one HR10-250). But the HR20-100s/700s are nice too. My favorite features are the External SATA port, free disk space bar, 10x faster scheduling of recordings and season passes, and of course the MPEG-4 recording.
