Speak for yourself Charley..

I've had the HR20 for several months now as an upgrade from multiple series1 and Series2 D-TiVos, along with a standard Samsung HD tuner. True, it IS more stable now compared to the initial version I picked up at BestBuy, and I am pleased that the OTA tuners were finally activated, but this is still a frustrating piece of hardware.

I have it connected to a Panny projector via. component and it's most common problem is where the picture is solid black, although the menus continue to function normally. Granted, it only happens about once every 2 weeks, but that's far too often for me. Aside from that, the other main problem is how it doesn't maintain a stable digital audio signal during commercial transitions resulting in lots of audible pops & clicks with each break.


I like the fast menus and "normal operation" is generally pretty good, but adding & managing scheduled recordings is a pain compared to my original Tivo units. I find that pretty sad considering how old Tivo is now.... is it really that hard to replicate that kind of usability!?

Now if only Lexus would only apply some of that technical gee-wizardry to the brakes, they'd have a real answer to the Germans!
