Re: I'm Confused about Direct TV and Tivo...

Here is what I know about tivo and direct tv.

I ahave a phillips direct tv and tivo combo. I also have a stand alone tivo unit.

With the Direct tv/tivo unit you can record 2 shows at once and watch a third. You can also record in the dolby digital format. The only drawback is that you CANNOT input another source i.e. cable, antenna to record in these units.

With the stand alone unit you can input sattelite, & cable sources. You cannot record in dolby though. The only reason I have 2 units is that we cannot get local channels over our sattelite. These will be available to us within the next six months over our dish, and at that time I will be using only the Direct tv unit.

At this time Tivo does not support HDTV.

Just my 2 cents worth. Good Luck!
