Which is hotter/which needs more airflow? HR20/HR10-250?

For those of you who have had both, or those of you who currently have both hooked up to the same TV....

I am going to be adding an HR20 to my existing home theatre setup. I currently have an HR10-250 hooked up and I will soon have both on the same TV.

I currently have my HR10-250 (HD-TiVo) in the most open-air or airflow place in my entertainment system. When I add the HR20, one of the two is going to have to go into the more closed cabinet area of the entertainment center.

Thus, my question is which one runs hotter? Which needs more airflow? I realize that both need it, and neither is probably great to have in a more confined space, but for now, one will have to.

Thanks!

The HR20 has more overal air input abilities...
And it's fan is internal... doesn't blow out like the HR10 does.

My guess is the HR20 needs the more airflow, as it simply designed like that.

The HR20 fan only turns on when it get's to a certain temp? I noticed on one of my units it was never on when powered up!:eek2: Well I sent that one back anyway because of other problems.
