I am new to this forum but certainly not new to TiVo as I wrote the DirecTV HR10-250 FAQ over at TiVoCommunity (tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=151443).
Can anyone suggest some up-to-date threads that would give me an impression of the HR20 vs. TiVo? I see they have released a series of updates, making any Overview or Comparison thread which has not recently been updated rather obsolete. Should I start by reading the R15 topics?
I was surprised to see that the HR20 is only $299 and it is now quite tempting. I would attempt to get OTA locals and only failing that would I switch to the MPEG-4/Spaceway HD locals.
TiVo Series 3 and switching to cable would certainly be the most expensive option.
Adding an ATSC card to my home theater PC would be the cheapest option.
If the HR20 is bearable and gives me 95% of the TiVo functionality without a lot of bugs and annoyances, I might be tempted.
