How does a “regular” TiVo box compare with the DIRECTV DVR with TiVo service?
TiVo boxes work with any programming source: antenna, analog cable, digital cable and satellite. You can also configure the DVR to support both satellite and another source. Depending on models, TiVo DVRs vary in recording capacity, up to 140 hours. Designed for DIRECTV subscribers, the DIRECTV DVR with TiVo service integrates both the DIRECTV and TiVo services into one set-top box. It can record up to 100 hours of programming, and also has dual-tuner functionality–the ability to record two programs at the same time.
