After my Ultimate TV receiver died I had to get a replacement for it and our other half-dead Ultimate TV receiver. I selected two DirecTV Tivos as the replacements because of cost, availability, and primarily the two tuners. Once you’ve had a two tuner receiver you’ll never go back. If Replay made a two tuner receiver (that disn’t cost a mint) I would have bought that. There are many things I don’t like as well about the Tivo but it is still way better than regular TV. ;-)
