Samsung Enters the TiVo Biz

TWICE is reporting that Samsung has officially launched its 120 GB (100-hour) DirecTV TiVo DVR (digital video recorder) unit. What's possibly even more exciting is Samsung's stated intention to release a HD version of the DVR early next year.

OK, Samsung, if you're listening to me, I have a few requests: First, make it a stand-alone TiVo so it will work with my cable. Two, put a functional DVI port on it. Three, you gotta have two HD tuners on the thing. Four, make it easy to connect it to a Wi-Fi network. If you do these things, I'll be first in line. Thanks.

Hats off to Gizmodo for the tip on this story.
