Philips DSR6000R DIRECTV Receiver with TiVo Service
Best of both worlds
I have had a Tivo since they first came out.  My original series one Tivo had a single tuner and had to use the IR attachement to change the channel.  I was never satisfied with this arrangement.  My problem was that we needed to record two shows that were on at the same time and this set up just couldn't do that. <br />Then DirecTV (which I have also had for the last 15 years) solved my problem with a DUAL tuner Tivo that was fully integrated into their system.  It was like seeing for the first time...ok that's an overstatement, but being able to record Survivor and Friends and the same time was wonderful. <br /> <br />After experiencing the bliss that is dual tuner, I really don't understand how they sold any more of the single tuner units. <br /> <br />My DirectTivo has been going strong for about 6 years now with now problems.  I know it's no longer available and DirecTV has decided to make their own DVR.  That makes me nervous...I am just hoping that my DirecTivo keeps on going for a very long time!
