Very little in this article is accurate.

DIRECTV has delivered 5,600 HR10-250's to date and with less than 30 units replaced.

The unit is in much higher demand than the supply can catch up with, but starting next week allocations will be larger and more frequent.

Agreed. I was on a waiting list since January and finally got a unit last week. In fact, I ordered from 2 places to secure a unit.

It is fantastic. Seamlessly integrated OTA HD and Sat HD with recording and all the Tivo favorites. You gonna have to pry my Tivo away from my cold dead hands before you switch me back to cable company. There is also activity at Directv that will secure a nice foothold in the HD world. I dont know the details but this time next year, you wont be worrying about how much HD is on Directv.

There here....... Just picked mine up

Well, truthfully, I will pick it up in about 3 hours. Just waiting on the call from the installer to put up the new antenna.

Brewer4,

I'd sure like to hear about your HD Tivo experience, you have had yours a while now.

Lee

Talking Hurray for you!

At least your Tivo will have great interactive features, no messed-up screen setups by a cable company, excellent user displays and clearer locals!
Remember satellite does not delivery those crummy analogue pictures like my cable company delivers with its so-called HD DVR, either.
Friends of mine truly love their HD-Tivos to the point they expanded "hacked" theirs with more HD space...but that is another story.
Either way, your money will be well-spent, LeeS!
Good luck with your installation and enjoy!

Lee,

Might be a good idea to open up a sticky HD TIVO thread.
