I'm guessing DSL is not available or you would have mentioned it as an option too?

I agree with you about the Tivo. We are now on our second DirecTV with Tivo receiver, and it's one of the last ones they sold before moving to their own system. (A friend has the newer non-Tivo one and we all agree it's not as good.) (And when I say it's our second one that's not a knock... the first one lasted almost five years until the hard disk died, and if I had felt like buying a new hard disk instead of taking advantage of promotions on new equipment, it would probably still be going.)

Is the DirecTV HD worth it? I'm not an expert but I think that's highly dependent on your TV. What kind do you have, or maybe, what kind are you willing to buy?
