The rumor about Directv & Tivo getting back in bed together has been out there so long that I need to have the product in my hands before I consider it anything other than vaporware. But until then you can pry my old directivo out of my cold dead hands.
Wow, you've really mastered the power of positive giving-up.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Well. My phone used to send my cellphone photos as jpg attachments. Now, I'm getting them as html documents, I guess embedded in the email. Maybe Virgin changed their policy; I didn't change any settings. Frick. This may be the annoyance catalyst that finally gets me to the Verizon store down the street for a Droid.

I finally pulled the trigger and just ordered the new Tivo. Mine is over 6 years old and the hard drive is so tiny. Anyone else have a Tivo Premier? Any opinions?

Suzi, you wanna sell your old one?

I've decided to bite the bullet and get a portable GPS dealie (even if I only use it three times a year, it's better than getting lost, and they're *so* cheap these days).
I've only ever used Garmin in the past, and I like them, but TomTom has Star Wars voices. So I'm torn.

Zenkitty - I really haven't decided yet. I might pass it on to Kelly if she wants it. If not, I'll let you know. It does have lifetime programming - is that transferable? I need to look into that.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Jessica, we've had good results both with Magellan Roadmates and TomToms. The only thing I'd recommend is spending a little more and getting one with lifetime map updates.

The new OS feels like a work in progress to me. Sometimes I get the old screens and sometimes I get the new ones, with little rhyme or reason to it. But if you didn't previously have an HD Tivo, then you'll love it regardless.

Thanks Jon. My current machine is a Series 2. I'm also looking forward to being able to get Netflix streaming through my Tivo.
