Well here's why you may not want to wait.The R22 has access to VOD,mediashare,200 hour SD recording time.30 second skip,a guide with more information and first air date.It also updates recordings for first runs very well.Also we hope that in the future DirecTV will be able to change the R22 to an HR21 with the flip of a switch for all those SD viewers that convert to HD.sr6376 said:
Have you ditched your R15?

Yes.I only have one TV and I was running the R15-500 and the R22-100.So i got a wild hair and bought a used HR10-250.The very next day the Tivo getting back with DirecTV is published talk about Deja vu.Anyways didn't have much against the R15 besides the guide not having first air date and I believe that was why it wouldn't do updates for first runs good in series links.I did like you could pause the live buffer in the R15 and the live buffer would expand and the guide speed was fast.red.bean.head said:
I have nothing but HDTV's in the house, I just refuse to purchase more HD boxes at $200 a pop. My contract is up in December and at that time I'll see what deal they will give me for two HD-DVR's. Then I'll be able to swap out my one H21 w/ a DVR, put the H21 in the kitchen and get the second HD DVR for the bedroom.Jhon69 said:Well here's why you may not want to wait.The R22 has access to VOD,mediashare,200 hour SD recording time.30 second skip,a guide with more information and first air date.It also updates recordings for first runs very well.Also we hope that in the future DirecTV will be able to change the R22 to an HR21 with the flip of a switch for all those SD viewers that convert to HD.
I have the HR10-250 in my bedroom. It was a good box but really slow & since it is only MPEG2 the HD choices are slim now since most are now MPEG4. I have noted that it reboots almost everynight at least twice around 10pm PT. Not sure what is up with it. I still have my R15's (Kids rooms) & HR21's (Living Room/Family Room/Garage) as well. All have been ok too. The expanded HD channels that the HR can receive is really cool though & it is faster than the Tivo unit. Anyhow, just curious as I have not seen you post much in the R15 area.

Anyways I kept hearing about this Tivo love and since I never had a DirecTivo thought I would find out for myself.So far it's an interesting format.
Ya that's the reason why.I didn't do my homework cause when i activated the HR10-250 I got stuck paying the HD Access fee(I'm going to use the HR10-250 for SD) no matter I'll just cancel it after all the MPEG2 HD channels are gone.I have noticed when I turned off the sound effects I can scroll thru the guide faster.Keeping mine hooked up to a phone line running 6.3f.The DirecTivo guide doesn't have first air date but then the R15 doesn't either.red.bean.head said:
