Help.. Im a bargain whore, but hopefully not a retard (PC police please excuse)
I couldnt pass on the TiVo DT TCD649 180-Hour Series 2 offer. I even called a Weaknees csr that told me it would work, but I wouldnt be able to record 2 programs. Now Im told that the fine print in the order r&r on the weaknees form states:
*IMPORTANT NOTE FOR DIRECTV USERS:*
The units on this page do not have a DirecTV receiver built in. If you have DirecTV, then we strongly recommend our DirecTiVo combination DirecTV/TiVo <http://www.weaknees.com/direct_tv_tivo.php> units.

The only TiVo-brand units you can use with DirecTV are:
Hughes R10
HDVR2
Samsung SIR4040
Phillips DSR704
Any of you TiVo experts know of an add-on or work around that can overcome this 'design' flaw. Or am I best off to bite the bullet and return for the more expensive DirecTiVo machine.
Thanks,
