DirecTV Dumps TiVo, I Dump DirecTV
I believe TiVo has an extended contract with Direct so in business terms they are not "dropping" TiVo, but it clearly looks like they are maneuvering to shift TiVo customers onto their platform...and therefore would no longer have to pay any fees back to TiVo for that customer.... Some people are on to this scheme!
It's a shame that they cannot continue broadcasting MPEG2 signals at the same time. They must understand that their own new set top is a pile of poooh.... Ones I used were constantly screwing up and required hard power-off resets. Threw them away!
As for Windows Media Center....I just say no. I use computers all day long...last thing I want to have to do is "fire up the laptop" to arrange to watch TV.... My wife would kill me if I did that. Bad enough having multiple remotes....
Keep your DirectTV TiVo's and just keep yelling at the customer service reps about activating your eBay boxes you bought! If you yell high enuf on the food chain, eventually they WILL activate them, especially if you are already a customer! If you gotta have HD, have them send you a new box, a new antenna, and connect it in to a separate input on your monster screen....
