Yes, the S2 and S2DT can control an external DirecTV receiver, but
only record SD.

Nope, the current S3 and coming box are cable & antenna only.  There
is no real economically feasible way to capture HD input from an
external box at this time.

Sorry, that won't work.  The HD TiVo's only record off the internal
tuners - no external input.
