DirecTV's HR21 pro gets official

Dec 1st 2007 10:17AM on Engadget HD

The lack of an OTA input on the HR21 is what is keeping me from getting this. DirectTV still does not carry my PBS stations in HD(I get 3 different ones that carry a total of up to 10 digital/HD stations OTA), so if I pay for the HR21 DVR I will lose the ability to see my PBS stations in high def. due to lack of the OTA input.

I tried to get DirectTV to give me an HR20, but it became a big hassel for them to find one (installers showed up at my house twice with the HR21 sans OTA). After hours of frustration, I decided to forget the DVR upgrade and stay with what I had (standard HD receiver with OTA input). Maybe if enough folks call Direct TV and ask for OTA capability, the next model (HR22?)will have the OTA input.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
