Existing boxes out in the wild didn't stop working. But DirecTV stopped selling units with Tivo software. We were lucky enough to get one right before the change.

There are rumors that DirecTV will do another deal with Tivo now that they're not owned by Rupert Murdoch (who had a DVR developed for Sky TV that he wanted to push) but I don't think anything's actually come of it.

We've seen the DirecTV DVRs at a friend's house. One of the satellite inputs on our unit is a little flaky, but we decided we'd rather live with it than get another box. (Besides, Fios will be in our neighborhood soon... so we want to leave our options open for that.)
