Isn't your receiver/DVR already a Tivo? As far as I know, all DirecTV and Dish Network receivers with integrated DVR's are just Tivo's. The difference however, is that the receiver/dvr has two tuners. This allows you to record two shows at once, or watch one through the Tivo (so you can pause, etc), while you record another.

A stand-alone series 2 Tivo does not have dual tuners, but offers the HomeMedia software as an upgrade. This will allow you to stream recorded shows to other series 2 Tivo's in the house, play mp3's off your network, look at digital photos (from your network) on your tv, schedule recordings from a web-browser anyway, etc. Go to the Tivo site and read about it. The receiver/DVR solution does not allow you to upgrade to the Home Media Option.
