Yeah but wait till you get bad weather. You wont be able to watch TV. I
switched from DirecTV to cable because of this. Mine was always going out
during storms which is when I needed my TV most so I could see what was going
on with the storms. :) Note too that Tivo's support is so much better than
dealing with Direct TV. When I had a direct TV Tivo and it died they told me I
had to buy a new one plus a NEW lifetime subscription because it follows the
box not the subscriber. What a crock! When I had a hard drive die in my
regular Tivo, Tivo had me ship mine to them and they shipped me a refurb and
transferred my lifetime subscription over so weigh the pro's and con's before
you make a switch.

WAG:
Tivo pays good money for the schedule information out 2 weeks and all the
ancillary information therein. I believe friends have told me that the Comcast
and DirecTV receivers had less than a week of program information at any given
time.
DirecTV paid Tivo about $1.00 per subscriber, which is a lot of $$ per month,
but they aren't going to go about replacing all those boxes instantly, as the
payback would be very long. Also, one could likely still request a Tivo box
even after their change over for a while.
The market needs another competitor to cable besides Dish, and DirecTV. My
Comcast + Tivo bill is over $80.00 a month and DirectTV would be only a few
dollars less after I get 3 receivers in the house, TIVO, HD channels,
installation, and equipment costs.
