:) Well... you get the award for the first, non-field trial person to get one...

We will have our first look available for everyone later today, or tomorrow...
Just getting the "shine" on the final version.

Keep it... it is the newest SD-DVR model.

Congrats.

As, Earl said. We get to see the First Look later today. I am curious to what it looks like and the difference from the R15.

[Earl Bonovich]

B-Band converters are necessary to see anything on the 103c sat..

As for the HDMI and COMPONENT connections... those can be used for SD as well... :)

[mak]

[Doug Brott]

3 cheers for mak! :)

Can you tell me if it has a port for the SWM.

[Earl Bonovich]

Can you tell me if it has a port for the SWM.

It does.

Most of all your questions, will be answered in the First Look, when we get the Okay to release it.

[MIAMI1683]

Thanks Earl, I will be patient. ;)

[Thaedron]

Can't wait to see the first look.

R22, the model number is intriguing. I wonder what functionality is new or changed vs. what you would expect in an R20 or R21 if they existed...

[Thaedron]

Shouldn't this move out of the HR2X forum?

The R20 does exist. It is the non-DVR HD receiver. WRONG WRONG My mistake.

[mhayes70]

The R20 does exist. It is the non-DVR HD receiver.

No, that is an H20.

[paulman182]

No, that is an H20.

I'm sorry, I tried to delete my erroneous post before anyone saw it and my computer locked up.

That's no problem. It is easy to get mixed all the models messed up. :D

[Stuart Sweet]

For the moment I'm moving this to the R15/R16 forum.

[dave29]

is this forum going to change to r15/r16/r22, or will a r22 forum be added

[Tom Robertson]

Still working on those details :)

[RobertE]

As it's going to be a very busy year for new hardware, I'll suggest dropping the model numbers all together.

+DVR Standard Definition Receiver
+DVR High Definition Receiver

[Stuart Sweet]

All will be made clear.... "Soon".

[RobertE]

All will be made clear.... "Soon".

The return of "Soon" :lol:

[Stuart Sweet]

Thought you'd like that. ;)

[tfederov]

Okay, it's been 24 minutes... are we there yet? are we there yet? :lol:

[mhayes70]

Okay, it's been 24 minutes... are we there yet? are we there yet? :lol:

:lol: I remember saying that when I was little and a very loud voice from the front seat would yell. "NO, I WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN WE GET THERE" and sometimes a freakishly long arm would swing back with a slap. :lol:

[Stuart Sweet]

"Settle down back there, or I will turn this car around and no one is getting ice cream!!! :lol:"

[kevinturcotte]

They just released the R16. Course, they also just released the Slimline, now there's the SWM Slimline, and the upcoming Slimline 3 lol
Interesting though if it came with a B-Band converter, and has an HDMI connection, but is SD.

[Stuart Sweet]

What can you do... I suppose it's better than saying "Oh, DIRECTV never has anything new."

[qwerty]

"Settle down back there, or I will turn this car around and no one is getting ice cream!!! :lol:"

I remember hearing something similar. Except, somone was going to get something!

[bjflynn04]

I can't wait to see the first look for this receiver and see what it looks like.

[dodge boy]

As it's going to be a very busy year for new hardware, I'll suggest dropping the model numbers all together.

+DVR Standard Definition Receiver
+DVR High Definition Receiver

But the R22 could go in both.... Depends on programming choice, and your mileage may vary.

Really? PLEASE tell me there's a DVR coming with more than just 2 tuners!!! Yeah, I know, probably about as likely the rumored "Total Access" plan lol

The R22 is a SD MPEG-4 DVR. I does not do HD.

Where did you hear that from?

[dodge boy]

Congrats, I suspect you will like it.

[carl6]

Now I am REALLY looking forward to the first look!

[dave29]

me too!

[dodge boy]

me too!

Me Three.....

[HoTat2]

Where did you hear that from?

Yes, and me four :) ;

As I’m quite intrigued about the R22 as well, particularly in light of Earl’s statement here. I mean, what exactly are we talking about? A standard definition DVR, which can receive MPEG-2/4 HD or SD Ka/Ku band signals? Where in the case of receiving an HD channel it will automatically down-rez to 480i cropped or something?

[Sixto]

Based on the DirecTV investor conference, seems like an HR21 with smaller harddisk and the HR21 firmware but only SD options. We'll see ... totally a guess ...

[Earl Bonovich]

We are waiting for some finaly verifications on some things, and we will then have the first look out...... should be by mid-day today.

Sorry for the delay... I will take the blame on it...
I have been so swamped as of late, my camera had some dust on it and took the pictures pretty late in the process.

No problem. I know you are a very busy man and I am patiently waiting. :D

Be interesting to see if the R22-100 has any HR2x bloodline in those circuits :)

[Stuart Sweet]

The first look has been posted... enjoy.
