A must have – Dean Mucha – Fishers, IN USA
If you want a digital video recorder and HD all in one with DirecTV, you should get this, it has an interactive quality and allows you to connect to the Internet for additional programming. Though I think DirecTV is going out with a DVR throughout the house soon, and may want to hold off unless you worry.


HR20-700 much improved – Catherine Steger –
The HR20-700 HD IRD is much improved since it was released. Two built-in OTA tuners (ATSC), are now in operation (with firmware download 2007). Dual Live Buffers (Double Play), also now active.

I'm on the beta team DirecTV and we received many new features and improved stability compared to the previous version of firmware.

The HR21, HR22, HR23 and the units are similar, but with larger hard drives, even if only the HR20 has two tuners over the air.


I wish I would have seen these reviews before I put myself through this anguish. – Old & Cheap. – Michigan
I made the leap from cable A few weeks ago. Verizon has acquired a package as we know. Less channels for more money, ADSL, etc. Well, I lost some channels on the DVR / receiver, and spent half the control connections yesterday, to realign the dish and others. After the alignment of the dish with a meter and check the cables all the way to the receiver, I tried to reset the thing. Pressing the red button, unplug it, remove the paper and others. Time will do nothing. I had Dish Networkin the past and has not had too many problems other than the realignment of the dish or modification of a connector from time to time. So, I'm not a dummy when things go to hell. I have not received a bill from Direct TV yet. We'll see how things go after my call later that morning. Ya Live and Learn I guess.
