Hey Scott, (or anyone that knows)

I was checking out some HD news items this morning over at Swanni's TV Predictions.com. What caught my eye
was an article talking about TiVo HD DVRs (10-250) can't get new (MEPG-4) channels. About half way down the page
something jumped out at me. " New high-def will be available only on MEPG-4 compatible boxes (H20, HR20,
HR-21 and the Ka/Ku band dishes" DIRECTV spokesman Robert Mercer told TVPredictions.com today.

So my big question of the day is, what is the HR-21?????
is this a new DVR/Receiver coming soon from DIRECTV?
Did Robert Mercer slip and let the cat out of the bag while talking to Swanni? Inquiring minds would like to know, and so would I.

Thanks,
Ben Music
 
There is an HD Receiver in testing called H21. Its just like the H20 but is missing the OTA tuner. The H21 does have an Ethernet port. Some of us think that it was just a typo and he meant H21.
