Is there such a thing as a tivo style box that is HD and records dvd's as well in HD? If so can you use it with directv?

Short answer: No!
Long answer: There are HD DVD player/recorders being developed but they will not burn copyright protected material.

Also, a DVD cannot hold enough data for an HD Movie. You must recompress it (a lot) to make it fit on a DVD...especially a single layer DVD which 99% of the recordable media is. Dual layer media is just as expensive as buying a movie dvd, so it defeats your purpose.

You'll have to wait until next year for something like this when the HD DVD format is available. But, don't expect the recorders to be affordable for a while...maybe 2007.
