I have had my HR20 three days, and I've decided to switch to an HR10-250. I'm not bashing the HR20 unit and I also don't care to discuss any solutions for it.

I see the upgraded HR10 units at WeaKnees.com have an additional or upgraded fan unit. Has anyone purchased one of these units? Is there any excessive fan noise?

I've had one of their 400gig units for 18 months.... it's no noisier than my friend's "stock" unit... but no quieter either.

I'm thinking about getting the 500GB replacement hard drive from Weaknees.

Will my HR10's original 250GB hard drive become useless? Or should I keep it
in case I need to ask DirecTV to exchange my HR10 with another HR10?

I've kept both of my old 250GB drives from my HR10s in storage. Just in case the units need to go back, and I recently used them to reimage the OS from 6.3a to 3.1.5f.

You can buy your own 500GB drive for a fraction of what weaknees charges and just create a backup image from the existing 250GB drive and restore it to the 500GB unit. You'd be paying him several hundred dollars for about 20 minutes' work. Weaknees want's $349 for a drive that you can usually buy for less than $200 (outpost.com had Seagate 500GB drives for only $149.99 last week with free shipping). It's sure as hell worth $200 for me to do a little reading on the subject to learn how to do it myself, but that's just me.
