I have decided after quite some time to trade cable for a directv satellite system equipped with Tivo. It seems these two technologies are a marriage made in heaven. I have a couple of questions for the more knowledgeable posters here:
1) What is the best deal going for this combination? I have seen directv with basic equipped offered for free with pro bono installation. I haven't seen this kind of deal offered with a tivo/combo box. I'm looking to have one tivo/directv receiver, and two additional receivers.
2) Any suggestions/pointers from those who have taken the plunge on this system recently?
3) I currently have a 30 hr tivo unit with lifetime guide subscription already paid for. Will I have to purchase this guide for my new tivo/directv box too? (I suspect yes, although I have seen others allude to the possibility of getting it for free)
4) Are the 6th generation receivers worth the price? I recently ripped up my digital cable simply because navigation was clumsy and slow. I want to be able to navigate/change channels with the greatest ease. Any comments on this would be appreciated.
I appreciate your input
