 No, they are not.

 DirecTV and TiVo are no longer cobranding anything.

 The HR10-250 is no more (for new sales).

 Many of the existing ones had a "curious failure" over the last
 months as they were updated by DirecTV.  Coincidence, or...?!?

 Ours began to stutter/etc during live TV viewing, and then froze
 solid on a "Clear and Delete Everything".

 Hard disk or intentional "kill signal" from DTV?!?

 Well, they offered to replace it for free with an HR20-xxx and also
 replace both my H10 HD non-DVR's with H20's capable of MPEG4, and
 install a new (5 LNB) dish all for free.

 HR20 is in the back of my Jeep now, to be installed tonite.

 H20's and new dish on Wed. afternoon.
