cappy29, Seems like we all hear different stuff when we call, go figure.

I got my new DVR on Friday, they shipped me an HR21 instead of the new one. I am cool with it because all my stuff is piano black and I got the piano black HR21. Would have liked the new one but this works for me. I also put a 2tb hard drive in it so I have plenty of space. I have been...

I told the girl I had an HR20-700 & a HR20-100 so I am assuming they are shipping me something newer then that. If I get an HR20 or HR21, I will call them back when I receive it and ask them what's the deal with sending me the same HD Receiver. I will post back once I get it. They aren't...

I called the main DirecTV number, when I got the voice prompt asking for the reason for my call, I said "Cancel Service" and it transferred me to a rep in the retention department I believe. I told them I was disappointed with the offer they where giving new customers and that they offered me a...

Thanks Scott, I will give them a call and see what happens. Just makes me upset on how good the offer is to new people when people that have been loyal and have autopay setup for 6+ years get a free 3 month upgrade to ChoiceExtra.

I have had DirecTV for 6-7 years now. I have the HR20 DVR and I have been wanting to upgrade to the new HD DVR but everytime I call and ask for the upgrade, they want to charge me $100 bucks for it. I understand that the HR20 is still a supported system but I have been a customer for over 6...

bonscott, I figured out how to Auto-Record future broadcasts using a keyword. But how do I remove it? I set it to Auto-Record "Casino" but now it is recording anything with Casino. I can't figure out how to remove it from the Auto-record wishlist, how do I do this?

I was checking my HR20 and right were the hard drive sits, it's really hot. Almost like you can burn your hand or cook an egg on it! I moved my PS2 off of it because I didn't want it to cook. Is anyone else's run this hot?

I think they need to add the wishlist back.

They are installing my new dish and the HR20 today, I will let you know how the upgrade goes. I will probably swap out the hard drives after the tech leaves today. The only thing that sux is I cannot run another coax down to the location where my HR20 will be. I went up in the actic over the...

Sweet! Plug and Play. I just ordered a 500gig drive from newegg.com for my new HR20, Can't believe how easy it is to add a new drive to this HR20. Thanks!

Thanks Jimbos, sorry about the Buckeyes.

So, he says to run the satellite cables to the diplexer but to run a seperate cable from the OTA on the dish directly to the location of your receiver?

I currently have 2 coax going to my Tivo receiver (HR10-250) for the HR20, I will need 3 correct since there is a Off-Air Antenna and 2 Satellite feeds in order to record 2 satellite feeds or I will only be able to record one Satellite feed with two lines correct?

Thanks, I just found that it has a 300gig internal drive. I added a 2nd harddrive to my HR10-250, if I wanted to put in a 500 gig drive in this HR20, do I have to use that software like I did for the HR10-250 to format, etc.? If you want a link to the stuff I used, just let me know.
