This is definitely good news. Tivo has needed to sign this kind of deal like forever. Looks like the recent management shake-ups have finally yielded some results!
Yeah this really pissed me off. I bought a DirecTiVo Series 2 box in anticipation of the new HMO features. Now my roommate is going to have a better TiVo than me! (Damn him!)
I can't really blame TiVo, though, it was DirecTV's decision not to offer the feature. TiVo gave complete control of the DirecTiVo featureset to DirecTV some time back.
If you're in the same boat as me, there's an online petition here. From the tone of the DirecTV VP that made the announcement, it looks like if there's enough demand, they might change thier minds and release it anyway. So please do us all a favor and slashdot the petition!
I love my DirecTiVo too. But did you know that DirecTV is totally screwing their DirecTiVo customers by deciding not to offer the TiVo Home Media Option? Sign the petition here.
I wrote a message board/forum system for my company a few years ago. If you search for the string "make your site stronger!" (that was the company motto at the time) in the board's search engine, it would give you a credits page that plays a familiar midi file in the background. The product is now on life-support, so not as many sites use it anymore, but there are a few sites out there that still use it. (Here's a fairly famous one.) It probably doesn't work on non-IE browsers, though.

You'd think Apple's web people would pay more attention to details like that....
