I spent 45 minutes on the phone with a CSR back in September trying to get an HD DTivo instead of the HR20. (That was the day the HR20 was installed, and I found out that I had been lied to about OTA.) He tried every avenue he could think of, but with no success -- not even a used one. I don't know what they're doing with the traded in DTivo's, but they sure aren't using them to help frustrated customers who were conned into getting an HR20.HDtoshiba said:Anyone know of a way that i can get a Directivo back from Dtv and trade in my hr20.

They must be selling them to Weaknees.bcowan12 said:I don't know what they're doing with the traded in DTivo's, but they sure aren't using them to help frustrated customers who were conned into getting an HR20.
Plenty of them here:HDtoshiba said:Anyone know of a way that i can get a Directivo back from Dtv and trade in my hr20. I am tired of this thing. Anyone else with me:?
I do know what you mean HDToshiba, I paid $150, for the HR20 and after 3 weeks of testing, I made a present of it to my sister and continued to watch my HR10-250. I have tested buggy software for companies, but they paid me to test it, unlike the HR20, who use their own customers to test their equipment, and pay them nothing...that's a Bold move but poker is poker, lol.HDtoshiba said:Anyone know of a way that i can get a Directivo back from Dtv and trade in my hr20.

Unless you are the type of person who is willing to "hack" their DirecTivo (HR10-250 I assume), please consider this. I have both a HR10-250 and a HR20. Since the HR10-250 was upgraded to its latest software version, it has been prone to frequent audio dropouts on OTA shows. The folders and faster UI were welcome additions, but the audio dropouts are difficult to live with. While it is possible to revert to a previous version of the Tivo software (3.14f??) to get rid of the audio issues, doing so requires a bit of messing around.HDtoshiba said:Anyone know of a way that i can get a Directivo back from Dtv and trade in my hr20.

Nope and I still have my 250 boxed up in my closet. I am one that only really had a couple of lock ups just after the previous firmware. No lock ups before that update and none since the new update. No missed recordings, no partial recordings, No BSOD etc..HDtoshiba said:Anyone know of a way that i can get a Directivo back from Dtv and trade in my hr20. I am tired of this thing.

Me too. :grin:mjs31 said:Nope and I still have my 250 boxed up in my closet.
Same here. $5 a month is really cheap for a backup. Plus, now I can record 3 or 4 things when I need to (like last night with the Bengal's playing).jclark said:I am running both my HR10 and HR20 on my main TV. It still have some quirks with searches and stuff, but for now it seems to be pretty stable. I know that not everyone is having my luck, but I really don't have any major complaints.
Looked like the Bengals weren't playing at all. They looked very serious, indeed.mtnagel said:Same here. $5 a month is really cheap for a backup. Plus, now I can record 3 or 4 things when I need to (like last night with the Bengal's playing).
