The ONLY TiVo box currently available for use with Directv is the THR22 DirecTiVo box. The main complaint with it is that the software is ancient compared to the TiVo Roamio. The DirecTiVo box is basically an old HR22 Directv HD DVR with old TiVo software installed instead of Directv's. No other new TiVo box will work with Directv,not the Premiere & not the Roamio. Also the THR22 does not work with Directv's whole home DVR system. It cannot see any other Directv DVR in the house,including another THR22. Your best bet is to go with the Genie for Directv,& if you have OTA,use the TiVo Roamio for that.I have been thinking about getting a Tivo to use on Directv. Anyone have any suggestions?

Perhaps in the event that AT&T buys TiVo.Maybe someday there will be a Genie with Roamio software and all the Tivo perks.
