Old DIRECTTV guide had two options. One was extremely helpful in finding and recording desireable movies by having a 12hr foreward look for the current channel. from Abt.com We switched from Dish to DirecTV about a month ago and although the HR-21 does not provide the capability to watch what's on the DVR from any room in the home, I really like that you can record two programs while watching another... all on the same box! from Amazon.com I haven't had any problems with this receiver since I have purchased it. Sounds like some other reviews are focused on other issues with DirecTv and not with the product itself. I really like recording capability with this receiver. from Amazon.com I can schedule recordings remotely from my iphone (or any other phone or computer). I can record plenty of content and two shows at once while i watch a third I've already recorded. There is a million great things about DirecTV and this receiver in-particular. I just want to let anyone know who is considering buying one of these: This product is solid** - don't let these other dim wit reviews fool you. from Amazon.com I've owned two high-def (HR-21) recorders and one standard-def receiver for the past 10 months, and here's what I've found: from Amazon.com The unit kept freezing the video portion of the signal. Bottom line: we had to trade our unit in on a service call in order to replace it with one that works. We are out almost $600 plus the cost of the DIRECTV price of the replacement and/or the cost over time of the service contract. I SAY AGAIN: AVOID AT ALL COSTS! from Amazon.com This DVR does not do 1000hrs of standard definition recording or 250 hours of high definition recording. The specs from directv for the HR21-100/700 state 200 hours of standard and 50 hours of high def. I sent mine back, false advertising. from Amazon.com DIRECTV HR21PRO 500 GB HD DVR PRO Receiver for Ka-Ku Band (HR21PRO) I purchased my HR21 Pro from Amazon.com after seeing it advertised by DirecTv on the first two pages of Home Theater (September 2008). The problem I have with this product is that it is not what was advertised by DirecTv as the HR21 Pro. from Amazon.com 1. If DirecTV physically damages your audio video equipment on installation, they refuse all responsibility, refusing to pay for repair costs (after initially agreeing to do so and firing the tech). I'm out several hundred dollars in replacement costs. from Amazon.com DIRECTV HR21PRO 500 GB HD DVR PRO Receiver for Ka-Ku Band (HR21PRO) I purchased my HR21 Pro from Amazon.com after seeing it advertised by DirecTv on the first two pages of Home Theater (September 2008). The problem I have with this product is that it is not what was advertised by DirecTv as the HR21 Pro. from Amazon.com
