TiVo made satellite TV a fun and interactive experience. You have a wealth of programs to choose from, and TiVo let you choose which programs you wanted to record, record your favorites, get detailed programming information, and pause live shows.

Now you've decided to upgrade your TV to an HDTV with satellite TV service. But what about your TiVo unit, can you still use it? Can you use the TiVo to record your new HDTV programs?

Well, the answer is both yes and no. You can use the TiVo to record shows, but it will be in straight digital quality. However, if you do want to record High Definition TV, TiVo has a Digital Video Recorder just made for HDTV.

Once again, DirecTV has partnered with TiVo to introduce the top-of-the-line technology to customers, with the introduction of the DirecTV HD DVR. Unlike the TiVo of old, the HD DVR offers customers a huge 250 GB hard drive. In addition, customers can choose whether to view recorded shows in 480i, 480p, 720p or 1080i.

The new HD DVR offers Dolby Digital 5.1 stereo outputs, creating a true home theater experience. The integrated ATSC tuner allows you to access both digital and High Definition signals - and record programs for all the channels you receive.

Count on DirecTV and TiVo to offer customers the latest technology and advantages of satellite TV. With rapidly expanding HDTV programming options, and the ability to record in HDTV and play back recordings, you won't ever have to fear missing favorite programs.
