I have the HR10-250 TIVO and I like it just fine. To my knowledge it is the
only High Definition DVR for use with Directv. The unit is pricy ($800-900)
but you can get that price down by calling Directv's customer retention
number and asking for a credit. The longer you've been with Directv the
higher the credit. I believe they range from $100 to $250 plus sometimes
they give additional credits.

Some people have had problems with their units but mine has been perfect so
far. I did have the "HDMI Problem" many people refer to but it turned out
the problem was with the TV not the HD receiver. There's a lot of
information on this unit at this forum:

I have the I have the HR10-250 TIVO and I am thrilled with it. I used to
have to stay home and/or juggle my schedule to get hidef programs (I no
longer watch anything in standard format) and now I can watch these shows
anytime. I can record two shows at the same time, which is great. Note that
hidef recording capacity is kind of limited, at thirty hours. That might
seem like a lot, but if you record a few hidef movies for later viewing,
your capacity can get used up pretty quickly. Upgrade kits are available to
increase capacity, but at the already hefty price of $800-$1000, I wasn't
willing to spend any more. When I bought my unit, the best prices could be
found on Ebay. I shop these things aggressively, and the Ebay pricing beat
everyone else by at lest one hundred dollars. Frankly, I don't know how they
do such good prices. I just bought a 60GB Photo Ipod for $515 delivered from
an EBay vendor. I would have had to pay six hundred plus tax, and almost on
one discounts Ipods. Of course, I am not complaining about lower prices :)
