While I think calling the Tivo Software "horrible" is a bit insane, I do have to agree that the upgrade is worth it. I loved my HR10-250, upgrading only because I had to have the dual output option of the HR20. And sure it took awhile for me to like it, mostly due to the buggy software at first, but they've worked all (atleast most) of those issues out, and have a pretty solid receiver now.

After a week or two of playing with the HR20, you'll never want to go back to the HR10.

I agree with Camelot One; the HR20 is now very comarible to Tivo. Most recent updates have fixed a lot of bugs (IMO) I liked the feature on Tivo of when you go 3-4 speed in FF/RWD the software would automatically back up when you hit play knowing that you over shot you stop point. Now the HR20 does this. I still miss a lot of the Tivo interface though.

I "upgraded" to the HR-20 6 months ago when I got my HD set and I absolutely HATE this piece of junk. It's not at all intuitive and there are some basic functions that I still haven't figured out how to do yet. Not to mention the software bugs that have plagued this unit and they're just now ironing out. My wife and daughter hate it so much that they go up to the bedroom to watch SD on our old Tivo.

As far as I know, all of the bugs that existed when the unit first launched have been fixed. There have been a few minor issues introduced as they add new features, but even those have work arounds.

What are you having trouble with? What do you need help setting up?
