DirecTV Dumps TiVo, I Dump DirecTV

I too dropped DirecTV after being with them for over 7 years happily with a DTV TiVo. As soon as the Series 3 box came out, I bought one, dropped DTV and now get lots of nice high-def shows with the old antenna on my roof. I really don't miss that monthly bill at all, and the couple non-broadcast shows I really liked (Daily Show, Best Week Ever, etc) I can get on-line. Plus the newer TiVo features that DTV had not implemented for years and years are great! I love getting shows downloaded directly to my TiVo - even the Amazon UnBox thing is nice for the occasional movie rental. Just got an HD TiVo for the second TV and all's right with the world. If DTV had kept up its partnership with TiVo and really kept the development going, I would still be a customer. But now I know better!
