No problemo!

Now that I only sub to Showtime, and thats because they have the lock on Strikeforce fights, Ill be glad to see the HD Showtime additions.

 

[Blackloz]

Me too although I would love to see the Cinemax channels as well, but im sure in time we will.

 

[FreddyvsJasonvsAsh]

I'd love to see all the HBO's/Cinemax in HD since it states on their website all of them are in HD

 

[gadgtfreek]

Yeah, they only have 2 and Zone marked as coming this summer.

 

[dcowboy7]

Remember hallmark movie channel is only in the hd extra pack.

 

[gadgtfreek]

Oh joy, I get that one

Yeah, Ill hold my opinions till I can use it (soon), but it may close that ViP-722 gap. Speed is really my only issue with my HR22, and the AM21 add on which takes up more space. The OTA tuner is damn good though.

The OTA tuner in the AM21 is better than the one in the HR20-700, but of the wide variety of D* boxes I've had over the years with OTA tuners (Samsung, RCA, D* branded boxes) the H20-600 easily had the best OTA tuner. It's the box I gave up when I got my second HR2x box, which was the first of my two HR22s.

The box you gave up was also notorious for overheating ....

The early models, yes. Apparently it had an undersized power supply that was fixed in later boxes. I went through three before I got one that was good.

Mine never did. It simply sat on top of my bedroom dresser in a completely open area. Lots of room to breathe. But I am aware of the issues the box did give some people. It's probably why the H20-100 box replaced it. The H20-100 came with a 4th generation OTA tuner where as the H20-600 had a 5th generation OTA tuner.

Did the H20-100 have the LG tuner like the H20-600 had?
