Oh, this kills me. I'm stuck in the perpetual "improve what I've got or wait until the next new thing comes around" conundrum. I'd love to upgrade or otherwise dork with my Series 1 DirecTiVo, but I'm frozen in the headlights of the upcoming HD DirecTiVo. *Sigh*

Actually, what I think I'll do in the short term is to install a decent OTA antenna on the roof. That will let me get OTA standard-def signals to the spare TV in the bedroom (currently unplugged), and should have me set and ready to go right the minute the HD TiVo is available.

Or, is there a sufficiently cheap OTA HD tuner that I can do it as an impulse buy without feeling too bad about taking it out of service mere months after buying it?

And, finally, what's the best OTA antenna to buy? They come in all different shapes and sizes. Google hasn't been too helpful in finding useful advice.
