When I called Directv to activate the informed me that the second tuner will not be active until a software upgrade is released in October.  Other than not being able to use the second turner the box is good.  It doesn't hang from screen to screen the Tivo HD DVR.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Thomas]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 11th 2006 12:47PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on DIRECTVs HR20 MPEG-4 DVR now available at Best Buy]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/directvs-hr20-mpeg-4-dvr-now-available-at-best-buy/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/directvs-hr20-mpeg-4-dvr-now-available-at-best-buy/</guid><description><![CDATA[For the uninitiated, can someone explain why MPEG-4 compression is better?  It takes up less space, or it is faster, or it loses fewer details, or it reverses the polarity of the neutron flow?  (Just make something up, I won't know the difference.)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[ThatHollie]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 11th 2006 3:59PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on DIRECTVs HR20 MPEG-4 DVR now available at Best Buy]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/directvs-hr20-mpeg-4-dvr-now-available-at-best-buy/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/directvs-hr20-mpeg-4-dvr-now-available-at-best-buy/</guid><description><![CDATA[MPEG-4 in the most basic sense is just better compression. Big size files in small little packages. By reducing how big each channel is, it frees up room so that Direct TV can add more channels. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jim Messina]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 11th 2006 9:15PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on DIRECTVs HR20 MPEG-4 DVR now available at Best Buy]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/directvs-hr20-mpeg-4-dvr-now-available-at-best-buy/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/11/directvs-hr20-mpeg-4-dvr-now-available-at-best-buy/</guid><description><![CDATA[How does the picture quality look on the MPEG-4 HD?

The Mpeg2 HDbox worked flawlessly but I found myself flipping back and forth between the HD channels and their standard def counterparts asking time and time again , "It looks better ... right ?" The old Mpeg2 HD just didn't look much better. I actually was very close to going Comcast . When I called in, they offered their Mpeg4 box to make it right. Now the Mpeg4 box is %1000 better as far as image quality. BUT that box has some serious overheating issues. They just swapped mine out and I am hoping their have fixed the glitch. BUT, the HD image I am getting from it is about as good a HD image I have ever seen. If they have fixed the equipment its a good option.   ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 14th 2006 9:54AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
