TiVo and DirecTV have unveiled the first satellite receiver to deliver DirecTV television programming and TiVo’s Personal TV service, in one integrated device.
The state-

of-the-art digital receiver stores up to 30 hours of television programming and provides DirecTV customers with access to a wide variety of programming integrated with all of the features that the TiVo Personal TV service delivers.
With TiVo’s Thumbs Up Thumbs Down buttons, viewers can teach TiVo what shows they like and dislike. Using these preferences, TiVo automatically records programs the viewer wants to see. TiVo also lets you pause, rewind, instant replay and playback in slow motion any live television broadcast.
