I’m using the DirecTV HD DVR HR-22. But my 1.5 TB Seagate Free Agent Extreme external hard drive wont even work with this unit. whereas it worked fine with the R-22 standard definition directv unit. Why should we have to deal with adding and upgrading external storage when the original units should offer ample TB’s of movie storage. even up to a 10 TB would be a good number. and I hope they can speed up the reaction times of these units. It takes over one minute to pull up the List of recorded movies on my DVR. Direct TV says this is comone for some customers. I just can’t believe this.

I absolutely detest my Direct tv HD-DVR. It just plain misses recordings with no explanations. It’s not intuitive at all. There’s just so many ways it could be better that there’s no way to even start listing them here. It’s a big clunker in my opinion. I can’t wait for TIVO. I have missed it so much.

Having issues with my Comcast HD TiVo. Once in a while the internet will need to be reset, but now the cable box isn’t recording shows and locking up once in a while. Maybe I need a new box, it’s been about 8 months now.

Currently using a DTv SD receiver w/ TiVo (Hughes). I absolutely love the TiVo feature and have been reluctant to switch to a HD receiver, because of the lack of positive reviews of the current DVR units. I am very excited with the fact that there is going to be a HD TiVo for DirecTv in the near future. I will hold out and under utilise my HD television and wait for the HD TiVo.

I love Tivo (my old 35-hour unit died a couple of months ago and I am beside myself with grief). I hate my replacement directv dvr, but I only got it because I was hoping for the new Tivo by the end of the year. Serves me right for being gullible. I desperately miss the Season Pass (this prioritizer stinks to high heaven and you can only save 25 shows…WHAT?!?), the ability to save search terms/actors, rather than only see the most recent searches, and a whole host of other things. Pile on top of that the now missing versus network (I’m a PBR fan), and I want to jump ship. I’ve never said that about directv before, but I’m just about there…after my stupid 2-year contract expires. I’ve never considered this until now.

Wow! Great reading. My horror story is simply that I’ve been with Direct TV since ‘96, switched to the new TIVO 80 hour dual DVR when it rolled out, and have worshipped it ever since. However, when one of the recorders died and I went to replace, I was told TIVO only interfaces with Direct TV with a single recorder!? Hey, I’m Old School, but 5-7 years later, I can’t get a replacement equal to or better??? This is Jan ‘09. So, I’ve held on to the hold unit, and am waiting and waiting for the new Tivo/Direct TV HD unit. Yet, nearly a year later and nothing definitive. What am I missing here?
