I had D* a few years ago starting with the HR20 and then the HR21. The HR20 just gave me fits when I got it and 4 HR20s later they switched it to the HR21. It was OK and I liked some of how it did things better than the Dish equipment, but it was slower. After a few upgrades it got slower and slower with each passing upgrade. Possibly because they were adding features to a box that was barely powerful enough to do what it was initially designed to do. I switched back to Dish solely because it was either that or throw the HR21 remote out the window!

I wouldn't consider the other loses either.
