To my knowledge the hr series are the same as each other except the hr23 only has a bigger hd in it. Other than that they are the same as each other. So you wouldnt get anything different if you did get a hr23
Wow hr series junk that can't be according to some on this forum they have been touched by the hand of god.
But what do I know I don't have dtv for that reason but my friends who do are tired of hearing me complain about them. 
No hes right, the HR-22-700 is a terrible box, its very slow when your dvr gets down to liek 30% space, also there are actually two different versions of the HR22-700, one has a glossy finsih, that one over heats like gets to 100F inside and goes slow, and then six month later same model but they changed it to grey aluminum to allow heat to more efficiently get out of the box, but it only improved speed a lil.
IT has todo more with the fact is that Directv has not perfected it Software that they put in there boxes, it be nice if they did that before they released these boxes because it makes us have to put up with boxes with unstable software in terms of readability and speed.
It kinda sad with Time warner has crappy boxes, and yet tehre software ran really fast and smoothy, never froze or lagged liek directv.
I love directv though just wish we had better software taht was faster and mroe compatible with the boxes
Another thread of peopel jumping in to bash .... sheesh, find the like thread ....
As for your remark about it being too HOT, is clearly bogus ...
The HR20's have run at 125* for many years with NO trouble due to overheating.
Got to love the guy that comes in here and does NOT have D* but wants to complain about it just the same :rant:
the HR series is a slow dvr period. D* needs a new line of Dvr's and call them the GT series
Rey, the HR series is all there is , as you know .....
Do you think a name change will really help ?
MY HR-22 consistently runs at 113 degrees. No issues at all.
As far as running slower when there's 30% remaining on the hard drive, what happens to your PC when it only has a 3rd of the hardrive to run all of your apps, OS, etc.
I have one PC that has a 320 g hardrive, there's about 900mb of space left. Guess what?
It's running slower than molasses in January, time to clean it up and give it some room to operate. Oh and it's running at about 125 degrees with alot bigger case and more fans.

Why are you complaining if you don't have it?

mentally,yes
!sadroll
My choices are limited because of it. My local cable company has an even bigger p.o.s. if you can believe that. So thanks DTV for nothing.
That is what I was wondering. He knows nothing about them, but is yet the most critical poster of them.
I would agree with this. I have two hr-20s and do not have the speed problems that others have. Is it as fast as the ViP series? No, but it is not a HUGE difference.
i disagree with this. i tried one of these hr20's and while it's a little better than my HR21 it's still not at the level of the vip series. If you're like me that had the latest off of the vip series you know that you can throw all the commands you want at it over and over like a maniac and it won't hesitate once.try that with any of the HR series Dvr's and you will have a delayed response on most of those commands.That's just testing it out.The HR series can't handle a normal sequence of commands without some type of delay 70% of the time. everything else on the HR series is great except the response issues.for someone that never had the best they might not notice but for someone who has it's very noticeable. that's my opinion anyway
and these HR22's appear to be the worst out of the whole series- Status
