The TiVo HD XL is the last and the greatest of the Series3 TiVo DVRs. It has THX sound, a Glo remote with the 1-2 switch, and can accept two CableCARDs.

Since TiVo has stopped producing these units, we’ve got some special pricing deals on them, while supplies last.

The base unit is down from $499 to $349 and, if you get the special on our homepage before it’s gone, you can get the 2 Terabyte unit that holds over 300 hours of HD for $599!

We know that the world of networking your DirecTV equipment can be a little confusing, but the new DECA products make it much, much easier. In most cases, you won’t need to run any additional wiring to get your compatible units networked together, and even to connect your system to your broadband internet access.

Most of our customers just want their Multi Room Viewing. And we’re here to help.

DirecTV’s DECA components are the key to making this work seamlessly. But, as a new product, we’ve been getting tons of questions about what parts to get for each room/receiver in the house.

So we’ve build a configuration utility on our site to make finding the products as easy as using them. Give it a try!

Weaknees DirecTV DECA Configuration Utility.

DIRECTV has done an amazing job of producing components to make networking their HD DVRs very, very easy. Essentially, they’re using the same SWM cabling (pretty revolutionary stuff in and of itself) to also carry your network to your DVRs.

Includes Ethernet Cable (not shown)

The idea is that, with a DECA adapter, you are now able to attach your DVR to your other DVRs, creating a network. And, if you put a DECA adapter on your router (you’ll need the power supply for  that) then you’ve just connected your DirecTV DVR network to the internet! So you can do Multi-room Viewing ($3/month DirecTV charge) and use the internet apps, on-demand, etc.

Further, the latest HD equipment from DirecTV, the HR24 and H24, have DECA built-in. You just plug in a SWM cable, and you’re on the network.

We’ve just slashed prices on our upgraded HD DVRs for DirecTV.

Now, get the 2 TB (yup, that’s 2 TERABYTE!) HR23 for $599.99 – a drop of $200! This unit holds up to 480 hours of HD recording – depending on the compression that DirecTV uses for the programming. So if you record a lot of sports, you need more space – DirecTV compresses sports less so you can slo-mo through the scenes at better quality.

TiVo has been touting the Wireless N adapter for their DVRs, and it’s now available. We’ll be shipping ours starting 4/30/10. You can preorder one here:

TiVo Wireless N Adapter

This adapter is fundamentally different from the TiVo Wireless G adapter (which will continue to be sold). Besides the extra speed (and extra $30 in cost), this unit acts more as an ethernet-wireless bridge. So it plugs into the ethernet port, rather than a USB port.

Using the ethernet port is different for a few reasons, but presumably TiVo designed the adapter this way to be able to get more throughput than they could over USB. But it also means the unit needs its own power outlet. Additionally, this change limits the compatible units for this device to any unit that has an ethernet port on-board – so the dual tuner TiVo (units with service numbers starting in 649) or any HD TiVo for cable (original Series3, TiVo HD and HD XL, and TiVo Premiere, and Premiere XL).

If you don’t currently have WiFi, or if you want N WiFi for your TiVo and you currently have a slower variety (B or G), you can get two of these units and configure them in bridge mode. This allows you to put one adapter on your TiVo and one directly on an unused ethernet port on your router and create an N wireless link.

Final note: this adapter will step down to B or G speeds if that’s the fastest protocol supported in your router.
