I was in a Tweeter about a month ago and they were selling an 80GB DirecTiVo for $69. It doesn't cost $69 to make that thing, so DirecTV is selling it at a loss.

On the other hand, if I were to sell you a 2nd-hand unit they would still want a contract from you eventhough I would have already satisfied the agreement. Yeah, it doesn't make a lot of sense in that situation.
