Philips DSR6000R DIRECTV Receiver with TiVo Service
Another Chapter In The Tivolution!
For the record, let me just say that I have had a Tivo recorder since it was first made available to the public (mailorder only --- about a year and a half ago). This is a great machine and the software and services keep getting better and better!Now I have purchased the new DSR6000.  From the other reviews you know about many of the great features and cool things you can do with Tivo.Now for a few things you may not know or should at least be aware of:1) This is not a Tivo Box.  It is a DirecTV satellite receiver with Tivo. If you need cable or antenna inputs --- you can only view these sources --- NOT RECORD.2) With this unit you cannot set the recording quality ( the editorial above is in error ). The unit automatically varies the compression rate according to the type of material you are watching --- action movies require more space than a talk show.  The picture quality is very good and it seems to be able to record more than my old tivo with a set compression rate.3) Guided setup is a breeze since all program guide information is downloaded from the satellite. Only the Network Showcases and Tivolution Magazine is retrieved via the phone line.4)WARNING: If you receive your local channels through DirecTV be aware that guide information of CBS and ABC are not being downloaded to the guide at this time. All you will see is &quot;To Be Announced&quot;.  DirecTV is aware of the problem (so they tell me) and are working to resolve it ASAP.5) There is &quot;audio popping&quot; that occurs at random.  It usually seems to happen when moving from one menu screen to another.6) There are great new features such as Wishlists that let you find and autorecord programs based on keywords, directors, and actors.Also, the Season Pass just became alot smarter. Now you can tell it whether you want repeats or just first run and the maximum number of episodes you want to record in a week. There are many other additions/improvements -- to numeous to mention.IN CLOSING --- I just wantto say this IS the next chapter in the Tivo revolution/evolution. This is a great machine with alot of new features.  Remember this is new software for Tivo and there are still a few refinements that need to be made. If you can look beyond a few bugs (that will be corrected soon) --- come join the TIVOlution  revolution!Thanks,  I hope this helps.
