Question about R10 and HD Reciever...

[soonersherm]

I have the Samsung SIR-TS160 HD receiver for my HD ready TV. A friend of mine is leaving town and wants to leave me the DirecTV R10 TiVO/reciever. Will these two receivers be compatible? If so, how? Any input is appreciated, thanks.

They're not compatible, per se.

The R10 is a receiver. The TS160 is a receiver.
The R10 only records directly off satellite lines.

Run three lines from your multiswitch, hook each receiver up to different inputs on your TV and enjoy.
