So, I got my HR20-700S from Directv last week, and have a few questions. I had the TiVo SD box before, and loved the ease of use it had, and find the HR-20 kind of a pain at times. The picture quality is awesome, but here are my questions, maybe you can help me out...
1.)Switching tuners, with the TiVo box I could simply push the down arrow and it would allow me to switch tuners in the box, allowing me to pause what I was watching and go to the other channel without losing any time of the show on the the first tuner. (I watch alot of sports so this is my main reason for trying to figure this out.) On the HR20, I cannot find this function for the life of me, PLEASE tell me it exists!
2.)Blue LEDs on the front, yeah, they look cool, but when I am watching a movie on my TV with the lights out, its anoying as hell, is there anyway you can turn them off, or at least dim them? Whoever thought that was a good idea should be shot.
3.)Is there a way to just get the Guide when hitting the guide button? The sub menu is nice, but I would prefer it just goto the guide, anyway to do this?
4.)Why is it that the DolbyDigital only works when you turn it on manually? Maybe I am wrong, but it doesnt auto enable on channels with DD, I have to go into the audio settings each time and turn it on, then if I go to a channel without DD, I have to go back and turn it off, or I dont get any audio. The only audio connection I am using is the optical output.
Thanks for your time, and maybe you can help me out on this. I know for a fact, the wife definately liked our TiVo box alot better, and in a few ways, I miss the TiVo box myself.
