Need a new receiver: HR21 or HR22?

Title says it all.

Not really. Why? Is it a replacement one or an add on? Call DirecTV and you will get what they send you, could be HR21 or HR20.

I've got a HD, non-DVR, that continually reboots. I can't get one from D* because I have "moved".

And my title is a little confusing. I need a new receiver.

HR22. Answer says it all.

HR22 is more expensive and harder to find but has a bigger HDD than the HR21. Decide off of that.

he's right. that's the only main difference.

HR20 is the first HDDVR, has OTA tuners.
HR21 is an HR20 without the OTA tuners.
HR22 is an HR21 with a larger hard drive.
HR23 is an HR22 with the BBC built in (and is the latest unit).

So get an HR22 or HR23 if you're getting one on your own for the larger hard drive.

I just went from an HR20 with OTA and an external HDD for space, to a HR22 using Mpeg4 HD locals only. Very happy with 100 hours of mpeg 4, also enjoying the sleek look of the unit.
