| H20's run hot I did a commercial install last year, a total of quantity 16 of the H20 mpeg4 receivers and a pair of the new 5 lnb dishes.
In the last year, the site has had about 7 of the H20 fails as they run VERY VERY hot, even in an air conditioned location.
I have no idea what the warranty is for regular home owners, just thought I'd mention this if you considering upgrading ( and paying for it ) to verify what DTV will do if H20 dies before committing to a contract or upfront payment for the upgraded H20 system. |

Birmingham, AL | Yes, that has been an issue with the H20-600. However, the H20-100 does not seem to have that problem. Another note in case some are not aware. The H20 is not the DVR. The HR20 is. |

From what I've been able to ascertain, if you walk into some place like Circuit City you're going to get an H20-600 (I bought two originally with months between and both were 600s though this may differ between regions). If you have a DTV installer out, you may well get a 100. My installer told me all he gets on his truck are 100s. Both my 600s died and DTV replaced them. I requested 100 series for both and they somehow managed to work that out for me.
I can vouch that 100s run MUCH cooler and respond much quicker to remote commands and menuing. If you can find a way, get the 100 series.
