A bit of background
I've got a 10year old 60 inch Hitcachi Ultravision standard definition tv that's showing signs of age (the picture jitters and jumps when it's first turned on and I was told the power board is going out and was told the repairs would not be cost effective) so I may be getting a new TV soon.
I'd like to get digital TV service with a dvr and am thinking of Directv or the TimeWarners Digital service.
I wasn't impressed with the DVR offered by Directtv and havn't seen what TW has to offer.
Googling Tivo lead me to Weakees and this forum and from what people are saying it sounds like I'd want a Tivo based DVR.
I'm going to keep my existing tv for as long as I can stand it, that may be next week to a year at which point I'll upgrade to HD.
Assuming I go with DirecTv I'd like to be able to figure out the following
1) Is it worth getting the HD Tivo right now with just a standard definition tv or go with something like the Tivo R10?
2) Should I get DirecTv through Weakness or go directly to DirectTv (pun unintended)?
From the sounds of it, if I get the equipment through Weaknees I may have to pay DirecTv for part or all of the install but if I order through DirecTv I'd have to accept their DVR.
