According to reports from William Kidd, satellite analyst with The Lehman Brothers, the Series 2 DirecTV/TiVo combo set-top box, named DirecTV DVR, should be available to consumer electronics retailers later this quarter, though it's unclear whether they will be in time (in sufficient quantity) for the holiday selling season.

However, TiVo announced the availability of its products to all Circuit City stores nationwide. The agreement with the big chain retailer ensures TiVo products will be widely available to consumers well in advance of the holiday shopping season.

For more information on TiVo products, visit www.tivo.com. To become a TiVo retailer, contact Metron North America by calling 800-321-0281 or visit www.metrononline.com.

As reported by TiVo Pony on The Tivo Community Forums, the first shipment of the new boxes left the factory in Mexico yesterday.

The Factory is in Jurez, Mexico (on the border with El Paso, TX) so they most likely cleared customs the same day.
