Several times a day I seem to get asked variations on the same theme..."Is there an HD TiVo with a built-in DVD burner?" "How about a dual-tuner TiVO with DVD?" "How about a Directv TiVo with built-in burner?" Or I get an even more hopeful (and less realistic) "Can you add a DVD burner inside my TiVo?" or "Can you make my DVD TiVo record in HD?"
Answer to all of the above: I'm afraid not.
Aside from the uphill legal battle involved in adding DVD recording capabilty to a unit with all-digital content, just the space required to burn HD material would probably envolve Blue Ray technology (very expensive still!). As much as we love the DRT400 and 800, we are sincerely doubtful about seeing any more products coming out of TiVo with this amazing capability. These models are already out of production, and there don't seem to be any plans to start a new generation. Once these are gone, that's all she wrote.
But go ahead and keep asking...
You never know.
