Directv + old Tivo box questions

Hello,

My wife and I are considering purchasing an older DirecTV/Tivo box from ebay. I was hoping someone could assist me with the following questions:

1) What was the best Tivo supported model? Which is the best to buy? (ie, Phillips, Hugues, etc)
2) Does DTV still offer full support with their service on these old boxes? (ie. do all features still work)
3) Is there a reason not to buy one of the older Tivo boxes that DTV use to make with them?

* I know DTV is working on a new model with them now, but without any in stone release date and price, we feel that this is the better route. Especially for about $20 dollars. We just can no longer stand DTV's dvr's.

Thank you for any information you can lend us.
