Editorial Review: Product Description: Average Rating:
 Rating: - Disappointment in so many waysIt's been officially one year since receiving one of the first HR21 units. After about 6 months it started locking up, getting stuck on FFs or rewinds, and just acting wacky. I called DTV and complained about it and they said they were working on it and a fix was in the works. I called 2 months later - same thing. Then again, 2 months later - same thing. Finally I said this was a piece of crap and I wanted a new HR21 unit sent to me. I had it the very next day. The new unit is 10 times ... Read More Rating:  - This DirecTV HD DVR is a Piece of CR@PLet me start by saying that since ZERO STARS is not an option, I generously awarded this clunker ONE star. We bought this piece of junk because we bought an HD TV and were told our beloved TiVo wouldn't work with the fancy HD channels. The differences between the TiVo and this DirecTV piece of junk are vast and numerous. This thing has frozen up on us, failed to record, canceled- yes, canceled- our recordings of entire seasons(for no good reason), dropped the second tuner entirely, etc...etc...etc... ... Read More Rating: - UnreliableIf there was a Zero or 1/2 star option, I would have selected it. This unit is very unreliable. It freezes on a regular basis. It becomes unresponsive and gets stuck during regular speed playback, or while fast-forwarding, or rewinding. The only way to resolve it is to reset the unit which takes nearly 10 minutes and interrupts and programs being recorded. This is a shoddy attempt by Rupert Murdoch to make more money and force an inferior product on Directv customers. Bring back HD TIVO and stop forcing this garbage ... Read More Rating: - Not quite 21st Century technologyI have an older Tivo based DVR which works perfectly. Problem is, it won't pick up the new HD channels, only the original handful on channels below 200. To get the new channels, I had to order an HR20, which worked fine except the clock "drifted" so that program recordings wouldn't start on schedule. DirecTV replaced this unit with a "refurbished" HR21 which had glitches out of the box. So, DirecTV replaced this HR21 with another "refurbished" HR21. It seems to be working, though it will lose channel signals that all the other ... Read More Rating:  - I didn't want to like itI have been a HR10-250 TIVO user since they were first put on the market. In my estimation, the combination of TIVO and Directv in one unit, is still the best set top boxes ever. A match made in heaven. Then came MPEG-4. The HR10-250 does not do it and never will. At first, I was adimate. I could live without MPEG-4...I could not live without Tivo. I even bought a second HR10-250 as a spare. God forbid my beloved TIVO box gave up the ghost, I would be prepared. As more and more channels were made available ... Read More |
