HR21 Pro
Not sure if this is the right forum, but here is the first image I have seen of the HR21 Pro. Wanted to share. Ad scanned from the latest CE Pro.

- 100 Hrs HD Recording Capacity
- Optical HMDI output (using DLI, I have never heard of this)
- Rack mountable
- Efficient cooling fans

What is an optical HDMI output?
And will the extra cost for this DVR be less than adding a 500GB eSata drive to the HR20? (which i think doubles the capacity?)
I think the fact that it's black and rack mountable will make this the "STB" of choice for lots of hometheaters with D* (or moving to D* after the new HDs light up)

Some goggling:
Digital Light Interface (DLI): An optical light interface that can transmit digital video, audio, and data simultaneously over a single light link.
But which equipment has a DLI receiver port?

Industry unique feature optical HDMI output?
Wonder if there will be a regular HR21 and a HR21 Pro?

I'm surprised nobody posted "I want one!" yet.
So, let me be the first.
I want one!

I've noticed that too. This would be the first I've heard of any content provider doing 1080p.

That would be a serious "BRING IT!!!" but in the meantime there's a real difference between an ad in a trade magazine and the real thing. For all we know the 1080p silkscreening could be a mistake (or bad photoshop work).

"With up to 100 HD channels available by the end of the year on DirecTV, the HR21 Pro Series is your HD solution".
Would that mean this thing will be available by the end of the year??

Remember that D*'s current HD receivers indicate the OUTPUT format on the front.
The "1080p" indicator probably means the DVR will be converting the image to 1080p to feed a 1080p display. It does not mean that D* will be transmitting that format.
Is this ad intended for home theatre professionals? It refers to "your customers."

This appears to be an ad from the CEDIA expo coming up in Denver. So the ad would be for custom installers. The rack mounts would indicate higher end custom installs. My guess is the 1080p would be strictly upconvert as no one seems to have any plans for broadcasting that way. |

CE Pro is a magazine for custom installers so that would make sense. The stuff in there is usually more expensive than your car.

I'm wondering if 1080p is a typo. If you look at the pic there is no light for 1080i. Does it not output 1080i?

I have heard of an HR21 coming out but is this it, only the pro edition - which is obviously for the serious home theater with $$. I think the real question for most is, is there going to be a standard HR21 and if so, how will it be different than the HR20? Will it just be like the H20 vs H21 with OTA being the only major difference?
I had done many searches here and on several other sites over the past few weeks but could not find any solid info about the HR21. I am no D* HW expert but maybe someout out there is. What else is coming and will it make upgrading several units to the HR20 in the next month a stupid move?

I don't really see the appeal unless you need rack mount or feel the scalar doing a 1080p upconvert is worthwhile.

As a custom installer that uses HR20s almost exclusively, this is fantastic news. I will be at Cedia all next week and will report back after seeing this. The most exciting thing about that box is the fact that it has an RS232 port on the back. These are useful for extracting metadata like song titles/artist info from the mucisn channels and getting feedback of channel number for touchscreens in areas that might not have a television in them.
