Can anyone explain how DirecTV got away with some features that Tivo was scrutinized for? For instance, there's a dedicated button on the HR20 remote for 30 second skip. Does the Series 3 even have that enabled by default? A more recent example would be that the eSATA port is enabled right out of the box on the HR20, while the Series 3's is "dead" (aside from the trick I mentioned earlier).
