I got hooked up monday and hdmi output is fine. It came with hdmi cable. I had a cable dvr (motorola) that was more user friendly, but I like some of the hr21 features more, some less. I was told by the phone salesman that he can download his movies onto his computer via the usb, but the papers say that usb output isn't active yet. I guess I'll find out later. Wish the hr21 had atsc tuner so I can get local in hd, but I just switch my tv mode to tv and view local hd with rabbit ears and no dvr capability.
