What's great about it:?Easy to use What's not so great:?Reliability poor and Directv fee is non-refundable. "DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!When you pay $200 for this dvr, it is just a fee to Directv. from Bestbuy.com Picture quality is good. What's not so great:?Reboot it once a week "Complete junk. We used to have a Tivo and moved to the DTV HD DVR becuase we wanted to move up to an HD DVR and DTV dropped their partnership with Tivo. Should have spent the extra money to "buy" a Tivo as the DVR from DTV is "leased" for the low price of $199 and then you committ to 2 more years upon which you pay $100 if you cancel your service before the 2 years. from Bestbuy.com Quite often playbacks AND live play have minor, but iritating, video and audio distortions. This distortion is similar to what occurs when you bump a DVD or CD player. I owned a two-tuner HD TiVo DVR prior to purchasing this upgrade. I never experienced a single problem during the three years I used the TiVo DVR. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?Picture Quality What's not so great:?It's not a Tivo "Ok. I was a little freaked by all the negative reviews, but I decided anyway to take the risk and upgrade my old Directv Tivo DVR to the HR22 because I was sick of not having HD. Well after 3 weeks, I'm very happy I did it. from Bestbuy.com It will record two shows at once, but only if you have two separate cables running from your dish to the DVR. If you want that installed in a professional manner (in a wall or an attic) you will pay extra. You are committed to 2 years with DIrectv, but they are free to raise their price during that time. (They just raised prices again this month). from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?DVR What's not so great:?SLOW "I just wish Directv would go back to TIVO which is a lot better unit. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?Does its basic job What's not so great:?Long start up time if ever reset "My main problems are:It says you can plug it into your network and then watch it on any computer in your home. The problem is it will NOT work on any computer with more then 1 monitor, this includes laptops plugged into a larger monitor or TV and large screen monitors that require 2 separate video inputs. My other problem is when you have to reset it or the power goes out it can take 15-20 minutes to work again, my old standard directv dvr took about 2 minutes. Lastly you have to pay a few hundred $$ for it but it is not yours or ever will be. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?Easy to setup and use What's not so great:?The DirecTV contact is crazy. "You pay for this at the store, then they charge you $5/mo to lease it on your DirecTV bill. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?Nothing What's not so great:?By purchasing this reciever you are extending your Directv contract by two years "By purchasing this reciever you are extending your Directv contract by two years and they will charge you to cancel your service. from Bestbuy.com What's great about it:?IT WORKS What's not so great:?THE PRICE YOU PAY IS A LEASE FEE NOT A PURCHASE "WHEN YOU PAY MONEY FOR A DIRECTV RECEIVER YOU ARE NOT BUYING IT YOU ARE ONLY LEASING IT (READ YOUR RECEIPT) AS WELL AS YOU ARE, ACCORDING TO DTV RENEWING YOUR CONTRACT WITH THEM FOR ANOTHER TWO YEARS. BUYER BEWARE from Bestbuy.com
