I'm thinking about getting one but have a question.
Does anyone know if you have to subscribe to TiVo to use this DVR?
I would like to use it like a "old fashion" VCR and just record a certain
channel at a specific time, I don't need or want TiVo.


Thanks

Tony

Directv charges $4.99 a month to have a Directivo. you do not have to
subscribe to Tivo. Keep in mind that the Directivo has 2 tuners in it
so you will have to run a second coax from your dish / multiswitch if
you wish to record 2 programs at the same time or record one and watch
another. It is well worth the $4.99.

Yes. You need a subscription. If you don't subscribe, the DVR does
nothing. It behaves just like any other sat. box.

Once you see Tivo, you WILL want Tivo. If you want a VCR, get a VCR.
