Rick, I have looked into this in the past. The Directv community has been waiting to hear word about products coming out of the agreement with Microsoft, but the last I checked a couple of weeks ago, a Directv person posting on a community forum basically said don't get your hopes up in the short term, because all of the content providers are scared to death of the possibility of their goods being stored on a computer in HD, even with DRM technology.
Directv, btw, kicks ass for HD.
