Oh yeah, and I was just given an older DirecTivo with a lifetime subscription. How do I compare the two now?

Most people would have paid for such a device (obviously more than they would have paid for a box with no sub.).

Had it not been for DirecTivo, I probably would have built my own mythbox or similar. Saving the satellite stream directly to the drive is the only thing that makes the directivo appealing to me. If I had cable I would have built my own box or got a Replay 50xx. You also have to remember that Andy is in the UK where it's harder to just say "I'll go buy a tivo or replay at the corner electronics warehouse." Or, that's my understanding of the situation anyway.
