Digital camera reviews of DIRECTV HR21 High Definition DIRECTV PLUS+ MPEG-4 DVR (HR21) HD DVR
Digital camera Review: Disappointment in so many ways
Summary: 2 Stars
It's been officially one year since receiving one of the first HR21 units. After about 6 months it started locking up, getting stuck on FFs or rewinds, and just acting wacky. I called DTV and complained about it and they said they were working on it and a fix was in the works. I called 2 months later - same thing. Then again, 2 months later - same thing. Finally I said this was a piece of crap and I wanted a new HR21 unit sent to me. I had it the very next day.
The new unit is 10 times worse than the previous one! It hard locks up every day at least once, and I am at the point were I just reboot it daily now and keep my fingers crossed. The good news is that (although they pushed and tried) I was able to continue on my contract from where I left off so I still only have one year left.
Good News: I really like DTV and have found there customer service to be excellent in most cases (boy have I heard stories). The picture quality is excellent, and I think the company is excellent. Plus - External Hard drives are simple now to connect to these units.
Awesome News: I just read that DTV was teaming back up with TIVO and should have units available by the end of 2009!
Bad News: The present HR21's are very very bad imitations of TIVOs and do not work at their capacity. This is disappointing because it is all WE DTV costumers have to use - we have no choice. The units have great potential if they can work out the software issues, but for now they are crap, but were stuck with them for now.
