The Directv HD-Tivo is the pinacle of DVR goodness in regards to DVRs with Directv now that they've gone with their NDS boxes.

Its Tivo based and yet it only costs $5 a month fee instead of whatever Tivo charges now for their standalone models.

It can record HD programing (although its Directvs less than stellar HD, it can record local OTA HD stuff too).

Dual Tuners! Being able to record 2 shows at once while watching something else on my TV's tuner is the greatest thing ever.

30 some hours of HD/200+ hours of HD recording without having to add anything. I would do a Hard Drive upgrade, but its not really worth it given the limited life expectancy of the machine..

30 second Commercial Skip still works, and with Directv owned by a content maker, you'll never see a that in one of their boxes.

I am SOOOO not looking forward to the day when Directv fully changes over to MPEG4 and renders this wonderful machine an expensive doorstop.
