Further, we've learned that the new TiVo for DIRECTV will not have the upgraded user experience seen in the TiVo Premiere.
Synopsis of common arguments: (in other words, this ground's already been trodden, do we have to go there again?)
- Many people like the TiVo interface, especially the list guide.
- Many people are equally fond of the DIRECTV interface.
- Many people think that TiVos are easier for them to use.
- Many people think that DIRECTV DVRs are easier for them to use.
- Standalone TiVo devices have many features that are appealing to people.
- No guarantee has been made that any feature from a standalone TiVo will make it to the DIRECTV TiVo.
- The new device will run on DIRECTV hardware, although we don't know how that will work (we have some ideas).
- TiVo, Inc. will develop the software for the device and seems to be solely responsible for the user experience.
- This is not a free-for-all. Rudeness will not be tolerated.
- Remember that all forum rules are still in effect.
- Do not "bump" this thread.
- Other threads relating to the DirecTV TiVo-HD Receiver will be closed.
- If you harp on a particular point to the exclusion of others, your posts may be deleted.
