Re: A better DVR? Agreed. When I upgraded to HD-everything, I was forced to take DirecTV's boat-anchor of a DVR, the HR20 (which has been supplanted by the HR21, the HR22, the .., which are all worse). I have owned TiVo's and the DirecTiVo since early 2000 (first was a standalone). The HR2* is an absolute piece o' carp! When I found out that DirecTV FINALLY acknowledged that they don't know their elbows from their******* regarding building a DVR and re-signed a deal for TiVo to make their next HD-DVR, I decided to stay with D* a little longer!
So .. anyone who claims that a DVR-is-a-DVR isn't completely telling the truth. Some companies know what they're doing. It is obvious that the content providers DON'T! |

2 edits | Eh. The HR2x aren't that bad. They're not as refined as TiVo but they have most of the function. They also have nice large capacity. Given a choice between the HR2x and paying extra for TiVo, I'll stick with the HR2x.
And yes, I've used TiVo. I even own a Series 3 with Lifetime service, but I still use the HR2x w/ DirecTV, because the overall service with DirecTV is much better than Time Warner+TiVo.
