re: I was going to say that they'd lose me for sure. But when I think about it, if they offered me a really great deal on a DVR with massive storage and HD capabilities, I might just take it. I'd sure miss the TiVo interface, though. On the other hand, as long as I can just continue to use my present DirecTiVo unit, I'll be inclined to stick with DirecTV. Nothing else out there offers the same experience for me. I think you make my point. To DirecTV you are not an "at risk" customer. If they were to discontinue TiVo, then you would look at other options, probably to include your local cable provider if they have an elegant solution and especially if it's Comcast and they have TiVo. You become an "at risk" customer. Multiply you by 100,000's and that a lot of risk... they would certainly lose some percentage of those customers. And what is the upside for DirecTV? John
