 > My questions:
 > 1. Any idea what the "additional content" might be? 
 
HD content thru DirecTV is very lacking and most that I know
cancel the HD package after a short time.  If you do get it
make very sure you get the MPEG-4 receiver else wait for that.
 
 
>3. What will I lose by going from TiVo to DirecTV DVR?
 
 
I have them all.  I have a Philips DirecTiVo 704, DirecTV
DirecTivo R-10 and the newest DirecTV Plus non Tivo R-15.
 
You wont lose anything really except the TiVo names for
things.  Season Passes are now called "Series Links", the
wishlist is now called "Find By" but is not quite as
advanced, The guide is more standardized now and just like
most other DirecTV receivers plus it works fast, etc....
 
The R-15 has only been out about 6 weeks now and still has
a few bugs to work out.  Its still very usable after the
12/26 109a update.  Some might say a lot of bad about it
but most of that was BEFORE the update last week. It does
have neat things like a picture in the guide and other menus
so your not sitting in silence,  cool interactive channels
(weather, lottery, news, sports, etc...), and no "please wait"
screens to be found anywhere.
 
I am really glad I got one as now I have the best of both
worlds.  This is a TiVo group so I don't want to go on to
much but if I had to just pick one, I would probably go
with the new R-15.  Its not without flaws but I think after
the next update they will have been fixed.
