TiVo Update

So a couple weeks ago our TiVo failed. It was a DirecTV TiVo that they no longer make. The wife HATES the DirecTV DVR that we have downstairs, so another DirecTV TiVo was the only way to go. Since it was cheaper to buy one used rather than trying to fix out old one, that’s what I did. I ordered the HD one so we could get HD channels on our upstairs TV too.

So earlier this week we got it, and I got it hooked up, but guess what? No HD! The DirecTV TiVo only supports the old HD channels. The ones in the 70s range. So we get five HD channels upstairs. Not very cool since we get almost every major network in HD downstairs.

The wife doesn’t care though. She would rather watch standard Def than deal with the crappy DirecTV DVR. She already said we are getting two of the new DirecTV Tivos when they come out next summer. We both can’t wait.
