New TiVo HD Box Note
Posted on June 26th, 2009, by Michael
I just opened up a new pallet of TiVo HD units, and I saw this new graphic on the boxes:

So this made me think, are people mistakenly buying these boxes, assuming they’ll work with satellite TV? Or is TiVo changing the packaging so that they can distinguish it with the DirecTV HD TiVo when it ships?
I’m hoping that this means the latter, and that this also means they’re working on designing the packaging for it. Judging by the amount of requests we’re already getting for it, the DirecTV HD TiVo should be a pretty big hit.

It’s probably to reinforce TiVo functions as an OTA DVR or can replace your cable DVR, but is not compatible with satellite. With the new DirecTV TiVo DVR not shipping until next year, I doubt it’s foreshadowing. Hopefully we see new boxes this fall with the new UI, maybe more powerful components as well to drive it all. Take a page from Apple… The TiVo HD S.
