New Install.......HR22?

More common place yes, but many installers still have inventories of HR21s. It really could be anything (HR20, HR21, or HR22), but HR21 or HR22 is most likely.

I would be really surprised if you get an HR22 - more than likely it will be an HR21-200 and you won't be able to say much if anything at all about it because it's a new install and you are a new customer - good luck ...

Usually the installer will call the day before to confirm order, etc. When they do I will mention the HR22 to see if they have any. Can't hurt to try. Also does the AM21 work with the HR22?

Yes the HR22 works with the AM21 like the HR21.

The HR22 is really identical to the HR21 with just a bigger hard drive.

I am having my system installed on Tuesday. I am a new DTV customer and they are installing a HD DVR with AUS-9 dish. What are my chances they bring an HR22? Are these starting to become more commonplace for HD DVR installs? Thanks

Had HR 22 installed today... was not sure what I was gonna get, but glad to get the extra hd space... though the way I tend to record I may still need more space as I keep some series till I get a few episodes or some times a whole season of a series and watch them at one time... especially in the winter... o well time will tell...

good luck...

Well I am happy to say that my install went very smoothly without any problems. The tech happened to have an HR22 -100 in the truck, so I lucked out in that respect. Installer was very competent, courteous and knowledgable. On the initial setup the HR22 did lock up( I thought, UH OH!). He reset the receiver and all was well. I have been using my system for a little over a week now and I have had no problems with the HR22. No missed recordings, etc. I am getting signal levels over 90 on nearly all transponders. So far, Very happy.
