DirecTV plans to release a TiVo powered DVR

Some of you may remember the DirecTiVo that was introduced three years ago. It didn’t quite work out, and it left many DirecTV users quite disappointed.

It appears that an attempt at redemption is at hand as DirecTV plans to release a TiVo powered, high definition DVR. This DVR is able to receive (and presumably record) all of the DirecTV digital and high definition channels.
