Whats going to happen to existing tivo users?
Dunno. I imagine the hardware would still be usable (Ultimate TV is still supported despite being dead) but there would be no new DTV/Tivo product lines. DirecTV is supposed to be coming out with their own DVR in the next year or so based off of technology from a UK company. Keep in mind though that the DirecTV/Tivo contract runs to 2006 or 2007.
I wish they could part ways, Im sick of not being able to transfer to my computer without hhaving to modify the box. I got alot of shows like the DIY and just crazy football games that I dont want to delete. Itd be so mch easier if I could put it on my computer to burn to DVD.

Bear in mind that regardless of who is providing DVR's for DirecTV, it's always going to be difficult to get them to allow you to transfer perfect digital copies of shows off DTV and onto DVD. Hollywood is not going to like that one bit.
