Beat me to it :-) Here's my setup: <http://panix.com/~johnf/temp/av.html> The HD TiVo is the lowest silver box in the right column. (Hover the mouse over items and you'll get a pop-up tag). As far as HD antennas is concerned, it really depends on where you live. It's not like regular TV, where the picture quality gradually degrades. HDTV is digital transmission, so you either get a perfect picture or something that's not watchable. So you need to buy an antenna that is OK for the area you live in. Paying more for a fancy antenna won't get you a better picture. You can find out what you need by visiting antennaweb.com, who'll also tell you what channels in your local area are transmitting in digital. The HD DirecTiVo will record over-the-air HDTV programs as well as DirecTV shows (HD or regular) - two channels simultaneously.
