DirecTV and TiVo

DirecTV and TiVo have combined their services to give users a unique system that will allow them to enhance their programming and ability to record it at any time using a single piece of hardware. On their own, DirecTV and TiVo both require you to install a standard receiver box that is about the size of a DVD player. The obvious benefit of combining the two is the amount of space you save and can use for other accessories.

The DirecTV/TiVo hardware generally comes with much more hard drive space - as much as 80 hours of digital television recording space! That's twice the space of the standard TiVo equipment.

DirecTV and other satellite companies offer packages that are much more expensive than ordinary cable. With hundreds of channels to pick from at one given time, TiVo makes a great deal of sense when you own a satellite dish. If you are an existing customer of either of the two services, check with the suppliers to see about upgrading your hardware.
