The cache is large enough to pause and rewind live TV for up to 90 minutes and the unit be available in mid 2005 (no price announced). The menus and item selection is instant when scrolling through them (even faster than TiVo when DTV showed the demo)."</i><br /><br /> <img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/DirectTVDVR.jpg" /> <br /><br />I don't see anything about HD, but I guess this is the start of the end of TiVo on DirecTV. The specs look good, but I do love that easy to use TiVo GUI.
