Not that I have directv but my brother does. Are you still not able to get a tivo box that works with directv?

If you would like to take over the project, please get in touch with me.

I saw the site once when I first learned about yourls, and thought of doing something modeled after it. Now it's gone... So what happened?

If you want to keep in touch with its (lack of) progress, set a google alert for 'direct AND tivo' -- which is how your blog came to my attention. If you want to discuss the (in)action, try this forum thread: http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=184206&page=28 But just the same - what in the world made you think the tivo premier would support satellite? There's never been a tivo or any set-top box that would do both satellite AND cable. The analog signals on the two media are different frequencies, the images are encoded differently, it's like AM versus FM but more so. Different analog chips, different firmware. And Tivo has been quite clear in press releases and ads that the Premier was a cable box and didn't support satellites. It is known there is an ongoing beta-test of a new directivo. I found out about it too late to get in, darn it. There are a lot of people hoping for tivo to say something at CES next week. If they don't, or even if they do but it isn't "available now", I am going to jump ship and get the Directv HR24 dvr. It isn't all that much worse and I am done waiting on tivo to get an HD TV.
