:up:up. this directivo might never happened. the last thing i heard was possibly the end of the year. thats what they said last year too.Back to the OP's original question...
I'd get an HR24 now.
It's available now.
Not sure how long before the new DIRECTV/HD/TiVo will be available.
I'm not sure how someone figured getting FIOS was one of the OP's options.
