A narrow question...

...but I thought I'd put it out there anyway. Anyone was experience both with TiVo and the new DirecTV branded HD DVRs. Since I'm shut out of many channels by having the former, I'm thinking of jumping to the latter. In a way this makes me feels dirty, liked those who bailed on the Mac from Windows in the pre-Steve Jobs era. Any advice?

Great candidate matching quiz

I love this. You construct your ideal candidate based on the issues and you rate how important each issue is to you. It also asks about certain characteristics, like age range, prior experience, etc.. These are my results. This squares well, but it doesn't take into account the stylistic approaches that, for example, endear me to Obama or McCain but repel me from Clinton or Giuliani. Post results in the comments. Canadians, too.
