If you still don't have a DVR and don't like rebates (latest DVRs are $100 with $100 rebate), you can get a refurbished 35hr Tivo for $15. This is likely not one of R10 units (there were never 35hr variants of those units) so this should be fully hackable for multi room viewing and the rest of the Home Media package.

To access the Tivo deal you must first sign in on the directtv website then click on the "My Direct TV" link on the upper left hand of the page. Then under the "My equipment window" click on "Add or replace receiver" link. Then type in DVR4ME in the offer code box on the right hand side.It will then show the refurb Tivo with dual tuner offer for only $14.95.
But that wouldn't be worth $15 just for the hard drive.
And someone enlighten me, how much extra does it cost to use a Tivo with DirecTV service? My dad has DirecTV, but no Tivo, is it like $10 a month to use or...?

Let me add, the $5.99 for Tivo service is a single charge, no matter how many TiVos you have, but there is still a $4.99(?) extra receiver charge for every additional box, so three TiVos = $5.99+2(extra boxes)x4.99
This is a great deal for people who have direct TV, have one Tivo box already and have more a 2nd tv on a non-Tivo box.
You can have this hooked up for free and remove your old equiptment from service so no extra per TV charge because your just swapping that equiptment. (you can keep the old box for no charge if you want it)
No extra charge for Tivo service because you pay extra for the Tivo service per account not per TV.
No contract extention required... none..
Total cost $14.99 and about $1.00 tax (for me) and no extra monthly charge
Ok all I just ordered one.. This is my first of and kind of DVR type of equipment.. So can some of the Tivo gurus inlighten me, I have heard that you can hook this up and hack it so you can watch in other rooms wirelessly..

Use The Zipper to hack the unit. It works really well. The best thing you can do is read and start to learn what you need to do. It's relatively painless if you do your homework.
just ordered one, this is great i was looking for one of the old directv Tivo units, not the new dvr+ its strange that you couldnt get it delivered without installation though, since i already have everything wired for it.
Don't forget you must have 2 sat drops for you to be able to record two shows at one time while watching another. If your replacing a non-Tivo box it only has one cable coming from dish. You can not use a splitter at all. Most new dishes have at least 4 cable drops off of it. These Tivo boxes will work somewhat with one line. You need two comming from the dish to use all the features.
I already have a Tivo in my living room. Tivo basic for free. I want to get this for my bedroom, what are my options? Will I be able to pay the 5.99 a month for this Direct Tivo and use the subscription for my living room Tivo unit?
