    HD DVR - Any Update on Release Date?

    Beavis: I can virtually guarantee that any delay in the HR20 is not because of testing. It will have same/more/other bugs. Yecch.

    New software on R-15

    Allegedly, D* did not release the software to all DMAs at once -- but the old version tried to get it ANYWAYS. Apparently fixed.

    Is the new MPEG4 HD DVR for DirecTV out?

    He pulled that figure out of the air. No release date has been set.

    A DirecTV Mpg4 DVR?

    They do run a little behind schedule, don't they? Rest assured, folks, the HR20 is a very high priority for them. It will be out in a timely fashion. It may suck and be full of bugs, but it will be out relatively soon.

    MPEG4 HD DVR - Dual Tuner??

    The R-15 software does not currently let you switch between tuners. So while you can record two programs at once, I doubt you'll be able to flip back and forth. Allegedly, the R15 should support this in a future software upgrade. (And the HR20 too, I would venture.)

    The equivalent - Dish to Direct

    New Retention phone #???

    DirecTV forcing channels on me!

    Happy Camper is correct -- the problem is that these channels are not aired all the time -- so they go "off" and vanish from all guides, and when they're reactivated, all the receivers think it's a new channel.

    Serious Customer Service

    Because Dish Network started the trend with the 942 -- an up front upgrade fee AND a monthly lease cost. E* moved quite a few. Because HD DVRs are provider-specific and hard to come by, anyone who wanted E* buckled down and paid the fee -- mainly for VOOM programming. I agree it's a...
