i used to read about all the complaints on here and wonder what everyone was doing wrong.... now i know its not the fault of anyone, its a big failure on D*'s part.
i've had my HR20 for a couple months now and when i bought it up until last saturday it had never missed a SL recording (i have around 30 or so). i moved and got my 5 LNB dish installed on saturday and i have had to do more red button resets in the last 4 days than the previous 2 months. MPEG4 locals are a complete DISASTER. channel changes are INSANELY slow (~3-4seconds), recording SLs is hit and miss (i'm at about 50% failure rate so far) and overall the unit just seems more quirky now than it did with my old triple LNB dish. i can't believe OTA isn't higher on their priority list, i mean if MPEG4 recording/usage is this crappy, at least let us pull them in with an antenna.
i know i'm not alone on this, but i just wanted to give a before and after coming from someone who left a non HD LIL market and moved into HD LIL with a perfectly functioning HR20.
