Questioner said:I would buy one bugs or not as long as it works in some capacity, do you know how it stinks not to be able to record your hd networks. By the time it comes out at least 60 percent if 70 or more will have access to hd locals.
My point was that we can ALREADY record HD locals and national networks on the HR10-250 and we get and record local HD channels that D* does not and may never rebroadcast. We ALREADY are doing everything I'd want the new DVR to do-why would I want to spend more for MPEG4 until they make me?
Once again, if you can ONLY get HD locals from D*, then it's a different question. We get them over the air, and HD10-250 records them just fine. we also do not want to give up TiVo software until they pry it from my cold dead fingers.
Don't worry, be happy-do it now, no waiting.
