R16 or R22?

[volntitan]

Hey Folks...

Need some advice here. My Directv Tivo unit finally bit the dust so I need to purchase a new one. Should I go ahead and get a R16 from somewhere online or wait and try to find an R22? Or is it that big of a deal...

Thanks for any help...

I would try for the R22. It has an ethernet port and can therefore be networked for DoD (VOD). Otherwise, there's not really any difference.

It also has a larger hard drive and handles MPEG4. They may be going mainly to areas with MPEG4 SD locals.
