You'd be best served by a DirecTivo unit. The signal comes in as a compressed signal which your unit has to decode to an analog signal. A third party unit will have to reencode the analog back to digital to store it. The direcTivo units will store the original digital signal on hard drive with no loss in quality. That said, DirecTv might have their own dvrs now instead of the Tivo units and I wouldn't know how well those work.
