HR20 or 21, How Will I know?

[BarkingGhost]

Naturally, I will know once the equipment is installed, but is there a way to know ahead of time, or to request ahead of the scheduled install? I was originally scheduled for 1/3/2008, but I went online and changed it to 1/30/2008.

Nope...
It is usually dependent on what is on the installers truck

as Earl said, depends on what is on the Truck, but most installers carry only the HR21 now rather than the HR20, which is an older model. :(

Curt, I take if by your frown that the 20 was considered better in some way to the 21? Was this the OTA (ATSC) aspect, or something else?

yes it has to do with the Over The Air tuners. most OTA channels carry more than one feed at a time.
I hear there is a fix for the OTA tuner, but cannot comment.

Also I like Silver better than Black :p

I think at this point it's far more likely that you'll get an HR21, as they are more common at this point.
