DirecTV and HDNet settle legal action
Written by David Stellmack

...Many DirecTV HD subscribers have yet to upgrade to the new 5 LNB dish and the new MPEG 4 HD receiver because many subscribers continue to be unhappy with the new HD receivers being offered by DirecTV. In many cases, those that have HD DVR receivers do not offer TiVo, and customers are simply unwilling to give up their TiVos for the DirecTV-branded DVR solution that is simply not as good or easy to use as the TiVo DVR technology.

Although DirecTV is trying to lure subscribers to upgrade with the addition of multiple new HD channels, many subscribers continue to hold out hopes that DirecTV will relent and develop a new TiVo branded DVR that will be able to handle MPEG 4 now that the companies are at least talking again.
