Quoted: Direct TV has been rumored to have broken ties with Tivo.....

It's not a rumor. While they still have a contract, they are not renewing it, and are now selling their own proprietary DVR (the DirecTV model R-15). If you are used to the excellent menu system and advanced features in a TiVo, you will NOT be happy with the R-15.
DTV *does* still have some R-10s in stock. These are the TiVos, and they are Series 2 TiVos with 80GB/70-hour drives. Due to DTV's arrangement with TiVo, you cannot get TiVo networking or TiVoToGo with a DTV TiVo, but otherwise, they are fantastic, and can be upgraded by
