Plus HR22 DVR/Satellite Receiver

this model is a total piece of junk. don't waste your time or money with this receiver. i have had direct tv for years and never had problems until i got this receiver. it was installed by a direct tv tech one week ago and it has had nothing but...

I have long been a proponent and fan of Tivo-branded DVRs, and generic DVRs just seemed like junk to me. The cable company provided DVRs are especially bad. Since DirecTV does not yet have an equivalent of TiVo HD (one is coming in 2010), I took the...

This unit is actually much better than the HR21. I purchased this unit from Directv on 8-31-09 and received it the very next day. After setup I noticed that the menus and functions are much quicker and very responsive. I like my HR21 except for the...

I agree with most that it is slow as ***T! That I could live with, the audio issues I can not. The audio pushed to a receiver via the digital optical out, and the video pushed to LCD via HDMI causes early audio lip-sync issues. Blu Ray set up the same...

Like the receiver, if you have a current account then you dont need to buy one. DTV should have upgrade availability to this particular receiver at little or no cost. The only reason to buy one is if you wanted to add one to an existing account. And...

The picture on this box is good. The features are good. Everything works as it should just slow. The box shuts down about twice or so a week indicating that the card is not in but you know it is. You lose a piece of your show and then it comes back...

Accepts HD signals very well , looks good , nice menus , good for technical guru's

If you don't already have HD set up in your house , installation can be somewhat bothersome especially if you want to buy your own equipment and install yourself . Definitely not a TiVo Box . Cannot change between receivers 1 & 2 like a tivo can . I...

The DVR is very basic and does not give nearly the functionality of Tivo or other DVR's out there. It's had to be sent back several times due to equipment failures. The user agreement and DirecTV policies are preditory. BEWARE THE USER AGREEMENT...

Expect your picture to randomly pixellate and break up while watching recorded shows. The sound is often out of sync with the picture. My unit failed after three months. If you want to record two shows at once, you need to run another cable from your...
