Directv HD DVR DWO2-10020 Satellite TV Receiver
Integrated receiver/tivo simplifies viewing!
I have had TiVO for several years now. With separate TiVO/receiver units, channels can occasionally not change properly (like getting channel 8 instead of 80 -- this used to happen with a separate unit we had.) The integrated units solve this plus the picture is wonderful because it hasn't been reinterpreted (the picture is the same after recording as it would have been watching it live.) <br /> <br />We use ours with DirecTV plus an indoor antenna which we mounted in our attic. This totally surprised me -- the indoor antenna works great and gets additional HD channels! To our delight, the Hdvr handles this beautifully (even with duplicate channels!) <br /> <br />Be sure to activate the 30 second skip feature (so you can skip commercials) and give yourself some time to get used to a TiVO -- our first one really changed the way we watch TV. We never worry about missing our favorite shows -- we just sit down when we feel like watching a show and select a show we actually *want* to watch instead of channel-surfing. When we are excited to watch a new episode we'll just start watching it 20 minutes or so into the episode so that we can skip commercials -- you can record *while* you are watching the same program. <br />If you have multiple HD DirecTV inputs, you can record two shows at once while you are watching a third previously-recorded show. <br /> <br />For the kids, we keep a selection of their favorite shows (non-HD) and there is no need to mess with a VCR or DVD player! They never even watch live TV, which means they can skip the commrecials which I'd rather they not see anyway! <br /> <br />The one improvement I would like to see is for \\"series 2\\" TiVO, which would allow groupings into folders, but I think it's worth it to have the TiVO integrated!
