Directv is sending me a replacement for the HR21 100 that is faulty. Will I get a refurbished one? Thanks.

You could get either and you could receive any HR2x.

I'm curious as well. My HR21-700 has gone bad and now I have new unit on the way as well. Would like a 22 or 23 for the larger HD but I will be happy with one that works right.

It all depends on what's on top of the stack in your regional fulfillment center when they process the shipment order. One person may get a refurbished HR20, the next a new HR22 and the third a refurb HR21. I think it's less likely to get a new unit as a replacement, but it has happened on occasion.

I will definitely take a HR21 (which is what I have now), but will not take a HR 20. Directv told me they would send a comparable one to me so that would be a HR21.

An HR20 would be considered by most people to be a comparable DVR. It has the OTA tuners built in, rather than needing a separate module (AM21) for OTA access. Other than that, there are no major differences between the two units.

I had a HR20-100 crap out and they sent me a brand new HR23-100 as the replacement.

If I do get sent a HR20, I will just ship it back. I need a black one. That is the reason I got one before was because of the color and the bigger hard drive. It goes with my bedroom decor lol.

HR23-700, did you mean?

Their idea of what "comparable" means is probably not the same as your definition of the word. If it works, be happy. I'd take a 20-700 in a heartbeat.

Fed x shows it to be delivered on Sat, 24th. Does Fed x deliver on weekends?

Thanks.
