I went to the circuit city website and the HD DVR on there is the one that's been out for awhile. Could you give me the model #? If it's the HR20, that's not the new one. |

That piece of trash HR20 is over a year old and doesn't even have DLB. It is the only MPEG-4 DVR that D* has ever offered. The HR21 is the new one, but no launch date has been set.

I talked to someone at Directv recently and it's supposed to be out around the beginning of the NFL season. If you hear anything please post it. |

OK, somebody save me from reading this entire thread. I have Direct Tv...will I have the Big Ten Network by the first game?

Best Directv Info
This link is to a discussion group regarding Directv and Directv DVRs.
After several hours on the horn with DTVs technjcal reps trying to solve a problem I was having and having no success, the tech rep litterly whispered to me to try this site where these guys might help me.
I went there, posted a question and I had my solution in 5 minutes.
These guys know their Directv like we know Ohio State football.

Rumored to be nearer Xmas at the very latest for the HR21. Hopefully the start of NFL season timeline is closer to the mark.
Oh, yes for those having acronym overload - DLB = Dual live buffers, which allows you to watch two games (shows) at once.

Props for mentioning these guys they absolutely positively know their stuff back to front. Go there first, register and search your issue before wasting time with D*'s automated menus.

OK. Prices for a guy in Westerville. Including whatever it takes to get BTN, and NFL Network, while we're at it.
