They cant gaurantee specific models anyways. If you want a specific model, go to Best Buy or order online from a place like Solid Signal

my hr 20 is giving me a lot of trouble with recording series links and otherwise they wont replace it though they keep telling me theyre working on the problem

Do you have more specifics on the issue? Maybe we can help you here. How full is your hard drive? Have you checked for conflicts? What's the show and time?

They just replaced mine with another HR-20,but since I was able to get my other one working right I did not even take this one out of the box.

So sorry, I lost track of this thread... are you still having the issue?

It sounds to me from your description above that you have bad BBCs. Try swapping the BBCs from the good HR20 to the bad one and see if the problem follows the BBCs. If so, it's the BBCs. You can order them from DirecTV for free.

If not, try swapping the entire HR20s and see if the problem stay with the room or follows the HR20.

Which if he had an HR23 he would have to get DirecTV to replace his HDDVR because the BBC's are inside.This to me shows a very good reason for DirecTV NOT to bring out a HDDVR with built in BBCs.:nono2:

True, but with more and more SWM installs, it would have zero impact.

I have no specific first-hand knowledge, but the rumor is that the HR23 (if it exists) will have wide-band satellite tuners installed. It can natively decode and process signals without needing them to be shifted by a converter. Hence, no need for BBCs at all.

If that's true,good deal!.But built in BBCs to me that's a bad idea.

Thats always been my understanding. The tuner actually just tunes it directly and doesn't needed it shifted anymore so No bbc needed. Calling it an integrated BBC is just a simple way to explain why the bbc isn't needed anymore.

true, but if/when it goes bad there is no telling what DTV will send as a replacement.
