Good news.

The unit pictured here is the old HR10-250 DirecTV is phasing out. Hopefully the new one will be more attractive. At least it didn't have a 1000 candlepower blue LED on the face.

I resisted TiVo when they first came out mostly because of having to pay a subscription fee just to use it, especially after forking a sizable chunk to buy it in the first place. I eventually got one w/ DirecTV because the fee was basically also considered an HD access fee as well.

After falling in love w/ it I was pretty bummed about having to give it up for the HR2x turds they forced on us. While they have improved the firmware some they still have fundamental issues w/ design and build quality. Both of mine require constant, sometimes daily, rebooting.

This is like Fred Flintstones car. The same as walking but with 3 tons of wood and rock to push around.

Probably won't work with my hobbled tracfone Moto, but wth.

ok

I like the looks of this one.

Under the wire.

I'll just ASSUME "y'all know the drill" means post here to enter.

Touche!

Just to be on topic, though. While this seems like a pretty nifty convergence device, I personally, can barely justify owning a cell phone to begin with(but I do) and have never been interested in gaming with my eyes crossed.

He He, Discoveries?

"Hey, look at this assortment of incredibly useful materials and objects I "discovered" just laying here on the ground."

All those things ARE technology.

Curse those Chinese for stealing, let's see, gunpowder, paper and printing, silk, the compass, cast iron, the crossbow, porcelain.
