[QUOTE="witzend, post: 595835, member: 99"] I love my DirecTv because it comes with a real TiVo if that is what you want. I like the search capabilities of TiVo better than any other box. If I'm watching a movie and I like a character who is just a character actor, TiVo gives me enough information to figure out who that is. From there I can keep a permanent search going for [I]anything[/I] that actor is [I]ever[/I] in, and run it each week. From there I can record (or not) anything that they're in. You never lose the search list. In so far as "deals" go, we got a $40 a month off for one year when we joined, and that just ended. I called them up and told them I would have to cancel, and they got me to a "retention specialist". They took $18 a month off my bill "just because", sent me boxes to send back equipment we weren't using, and modified our subscription to get rid of channels we aren't using. I've saved about $60 a month doing that, so I'm happy. I'll PM you my account number so that you can use it for us both to get a discount if you decide that's what you want to go with. [/QUOTE]
