Yes, they all will.
You may need a bbc to attach to the rear of the HR20 & HR21's though...

Would I need those even if I'm not hooking up to a dish?AirRocker said:Yes, they all will.

I believe so... I've heard that those units need to see a bbc on at least the first sat input in order to boot properly...Ryan said:Would I need those even if I'm not hooking up to a dish?
Interesting. I've not experimented with this, but what if a receiver is configured for SWM and is then disconnected. Does it still require a BBC to boot properly when the receiver is used "off-site" with no satellite line, strictly for playback?AirRocker said:Yes, they all will.

Drew... I'm not sure... I haven't really experimented with this either... The only time I have booted my HR2x without a sat line, it did still have a bbc on it... and I think I remember reading this somewhere as well... but I could be way off base...Drew2k said:Interesting.

I can't see any reason why you would need a BBC at all. The DVRs do not need a BBC to boot when they are attached to a dish (for example when they are attached to a 3-lnb dish and are not using the BBCs) so why would they need one when they are not attached?Drew2k said:Interesting.

Thanks for all the info.CJTE said:The HR10-250 will continue to play back.
The HR20/21, eventually will time out. But its good for a couple weeks.
Might wanna post your problems in the issues thread (minus the expletives of coursebixfisher said:Got 0251 for my HR20-100s Now media share doesnt work again. Damn them!
I just started a thread on this. Do you remember disconnecting the sat cables before putting in suspension? I can't seem to bring up the list on my suspended HR21-700 to watch some movies on it, damn these DIRECTV greedy b a s t a r d s if designed this way!!!admiral39 said:I have an HR20-700. We've had our account on hold for four months now as we're building a newe house and living with my in-laws who have *cough* cable
Anyway, we have no problem playing back shows we have on our DVR, even now. My kids get to watch Little Einsteins and all their shows that grandma and grandpa don't get on cable. There is no time-out, at least not on ours. Not sure if the software version matters. I'm not in front of the unit to check the version, but I know that I downloaded the latest CE just before we moved in March. Oh, and no BBC's are connected either.
Exactly. And the receiver would not know if there was a BBC or not, since there is no signal passing thru it.texasbrit said:I can't see any reason why you would need a BBC at all.
