Direct TV Tivos?

I have Direct TV and with that I have a Direct TV DVR. It sucks! Direct TV has begun to phase out there line of DirecTivo units. The DVR’s that Direct TV carries now are complete junk. I found a few Direct Tv Tivos and I have a few questions about them before I buy. The Model I’m looking at is “HUGHES SD-DVR80”





My first question is can this model and all other Direct TV Tivos be used for Cable TV as well? For instance at the end of 2007 Direct TV plans are to no longer support DirecTivos can I dump there service and use it for Cable TV?





And can the HUGHES SD-DVR80 be modified to hold more hours?





Thanks

Jigsaw is correct. Also, Directv will replace your Tivo unit free of charge when / if they phase out Tivo support. I have the HD H20 DVR and a Directv R10 Tivo unit and both have always worked flawlessly.


If you are having difficulties with your Tivo, it's probably broken.
Reply:No. The DirectTV TiVo units can not be used with cable as well. They only work with DirectTV's service.
