What is the difference between TiVo and the DIRECTV DVR?

The DIRECTV Plus DVR also has many features you won't find on a TiVo receiver, things like:

  • Faster speed and more recording capacity (depending on generation of TiVo you previously had. Example: RCA DVR40= 40GB hard drive or 40 hours of recording space.)
  • Easier Recording: To record a show just press the record button once and press it twice to record an entire season of your favorite shows.
  • Bookmarks: So you can highlight your favorite spots in a program and reach them again quickly.
  • DIRECTV Active: Featuring Mix Channels, Weather, Horoscopes, and more.

In addition to these features we'll continue to roll out new ones that we're sure you'll enjoy.

Please note: For full mix channel and interactive functionality, a D10 (or later model) interactive DIRECTV Receiver is required. Access to channels depends on programming package.
