Ok, more info for a friend. He'll probably lurk here to read the discussion. But he doesn't have an empeg so doubtful he'll join and post. He did agree that you guys had a good grip on this stuff.

Anyone have any details on TiVo2 and/or the possibility of DirecTiVo2 units hitting the market? How about quality comparisons or opinions between standalone TiVo and DirecTiVo?

I forwarded him the link to the last thread when I saw he was interested in some DTV receivers. The deal currently running on the site linked is better than what he was quoted elsewhere so he was ready to move on it. Now it sounds like TiVo2 will be coming very soon and he's questioning whether it would be a good idea to wait for that. Any opinions on that move?

Thanks guys.
