The main feature lacking is DVD recording capability, however none of the other HD units that I examined had that ability either. Also, there's no high-speed dubbing option, so recording to an external VCR or DVD must be done at 1X speed. I'm planning to keep this unit, until they make a DirecTV unit that has HD and DVD recording capability. from Amazon.com I have been a DirecTV customer for five years now, and my previous experiences with digital recording are with RCA Ultimate TV. I recently bought this receiver when I decided to upgrade to the HD era. from Amazon.com I wanted to upgrade from my standard non-HD DirecTV DVR, the R10, to a HD DVR with DirecTV. My options were DirecTV's new HR20 HD DVR, or the Tivo-based HR10-250 HD DVR. from Amazon.com I was informed by Directv that I would be able to get my HD local channels. NOOOOO! from Amazon.com I never had a problem in the past with directv, but clearly this product is treated differently internally by the company. I ordered it from a customer service one night, assured that it would work. from Amazon.com I had to send my receiver into DirectV for service after only 3 months. The first refirbished one they sent back also failed. from Amazon.com Equipment I Have DirecTV HR10-250 Receiver 2 DirecTV R10 Receivers from Amazon.com I have been waiting for a high-definition integrated DirecTV TiVo box for a long, long time. I held back on buying a separate TiVo box, held back on buying a third-party product. from Amazon.com If you are looking for HD, tivo and surrond sound, this is it. It is excellent when it is working propoerly, but ther are issues: from Amazon.com Ouch! However it was well worth it. I was watching HDTV on TiVo. I live in Orange County, CA and receive several HDTV programs plus DirecTV is getting good with the HDTV service as well with Fox, NBC, ABC, and CBS all in HD (I got in under the radar screen a few years ago and get both east and west coast feeds--they don't allow that anymore though). from Amazon.com
