DirectTV HR20 DVR, anyone got one?

I have both a DirecTivo and a Directv DVR. The biggest dislike about the Directv unit is that when you fast forward and then hit play it doesn't jump back a few seconds like it does on the Tivo unit. Other than that it's not too bad.

ChadTower:

Yeah, you just described Customer Retention, AKA their Bend Over and Take It Dept.  I usually try to avoid commitments on service and probably would have paid a little more to have to only do one year.  I've seen people pile on commitment years and then end up moving to a place they can't get a signal or install a dish.

They've been saying that for years.

They have, but they are actually now naming channels to be added, doing some tests this summer, and beginning a roll out of additional channels starting this September. Actually got an e-mail from them this week, explaining how to make sure my HD receiver is ready for the expansion (it is).

I have an SD DirecTivo unit as my second receiver, and really like it, but would love to hear from someone who has used that and the DireTV DVR just to know what the major differences are - and any details like, can I program it to do the 30 second skip function like I can on the Tivo. Eventually I'm going to upgrade my HD receiver to DVR, just like to know what to expect when I get to that point.

Your model's not on here but I'll bet if you check out the forums you can find what you need.

Dish Network has 40 HD channels, including premiums. Most of the movie ones are just upconverts though. What is cool is that they have a MonsterHD that shows monster and horror movies 24/7 unedited and in upconverted HD, and a non-stop jappyslappy HD movie channel too! The rest of the channels whould just collect dust after those two in my house. ;D
