DTV Offers Tivo Users An Upgrade And A Headache [View article]
I've had an HR20 for a week now, I took the plunge due to my Tivo's HDMI output dying and it deciding to lock up on a regular basis after about 2 years of service.
The HR20 is running different software and has it's known issues but with Directv updating it on a regular basis, it's become a pretty stable machine since it came out.
As for the two year contract, it's stated up front, there's no bait and switch trying to lock you into it.
Personally Tivo HD isn't an option, my local Comast has yet to roll out HD in my area. If it was I'd still pass on the monthly Tivo fees plus cable card rental fees just to have the Tivo GUI. Do some research, those units are having issues of their own also.
