Your trust factor in the HR20's recording shows

[BillyT2002]

Okay - in the tradition of Earl's R15 poll (http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=60394), I thought this poll was also in order.

What is your trust factor in the HR20 recording your shows

5 - I have zero reservations about scheduling programs
4 - I have minor reservations, so I check my most important shows (or backup record on another receiver)
3 - Confident but not "that confident"
2 - I am more confident that it will miss one, than get them all
1 - No confidence at all

Also, as a replies to this thread...
At what point can we start to consider the unit reliable, and missed recordings are do to other factors... (Such as guide, weather, power, hardware level malfunctioning, ect.... basically the same criteria we use to explain why a TiVo powered units misses a recording)

I'm really hoping that this thing is as reliable as people are saying at this outset, but the proof will be in what the results of this poll are in a month or so.

So, please wait to vote until you're really sure about how reliable this thing really is.
Also, if you do not own an HR20, please do not vote as you will skew the results of the poll.

If only you could require someone to submit a serial number before they vote. Otherwise this poll is meaningless.

Well if people will just be honest in about a month's time I'll know whether to buy one or not. For anyone who does not choose option 5, please tell me why? I want to know if anyone misses a recording (why they think it was missed) and etc. I want the HR20 not to miss ANY recordings before I get one (unless it was guide data/presidential speech or ballgame overtime related which DVRs can't do anything about).

I think this POLL should be closed as I don't think anyone outside of Earl actually has one of these yet there is no way for anyone to say. Maybe in a month you can put a poll like this up but right now it's just purely biased based IMO.

:) I voted 5..

But I have to agree with Clint... for now I am going to close the poll untill others get the unit...

Not that I don't want to see the results... just right now the results have ZERO value as far as I know... I am the only that doesn't get a DirecTV paycheck, to have one...

Hopefully that will change this weekend, and next week.

The thread is still open for discussion though....

I just wanted to say that I have never had an HR20 not record a show for me :D

In that same note, my Browns are undefeated for the 2006 regular season!

Earl, Does this mean you're finally gonna start getting paid by Directv?:D

Amen on lame for this poll. Other than Earl, who's already given his endorsement, there's NO frame of reference. This is a subjective assesment where we should be talking about objective facts.
