DirecTV TiVo hardware to arrive this spring?
The planned DirecTV TiVo HD receiver that dates back to 2008 and has faced numerous delays may have been shown off to a select few at the CES show last week. The hardware may finally show up in April or May,sources speaking to Fudzilla said. Unofficial rumors also indicate the device will not contain all of TiVo's latest features.
Also allegedly not present will be multi-room support, and the device will be based on a reference Thompson design. What will be the headline feature, however, is the TiVo user interface that is said to be much better than that of DirecTV's DVR models. TiVo is rumored to be doing beta testing on the software to work out the bugs and otherwise refine it.

SORRY TiVo
Sorry TiVo... Too little too late. I've been with DirecTV for over 10 years and even had a TiVo for a while. You got greedy and DirecTV pulled the plug. Now your entering back into the DirecTV game with limited hardware and features? No thanks! I'm perfectly happy with my DirecTV DVR... which I will be upgrading to multi-room DVR soon. :-)
