I just got the "We’re baaack! TiVo and DIRECTV are together again email"! It's about time. Does anyone have any details? Is Weaknees going to sell the unit right away? Is it to be rental only? What's with the $5 AND $7 (total $12 DVR fee)? How is lifetime service affected with the double fee? Is the outside setup changed any? I was just at Dish last week because I was tired of waiting so long.
