We’ve been accumulating a stock of DIRECTV TiVos in preparation for the discontinuation of the line. We’ve put up a page full of these older TiVos on our site. We’ve got a variety of models.
Some important notes on these units: they don’t require any paperwork for us to ship, unlike the R10s. So if you order one, you can basically put it in your closet and sit on it if you want – you don’t have to activate it within any time frame, or ever. But you probably can’t qualify for the DirecTV rebate if you don’t activate one, at least for a short period.
Next, some of these units are more disposed towards adding features. If you dig around the web, you’ll find lots of features that can be added to DirecTV TiVos. The R10s generally can’t use most of these hacks, but these units can. So if you want a new box to use to experiment, you can find one here.
Finally, we’re really not sure how long we’ll have these. We do have more various units coming, but if you know you want one, best bet is to get it soon. Once they’re gone, we likely won’t be able to find more.
