overall I like the feature. But I don't like the fact that it takes a while to figure out which two channels you want to use. And it doesn't let you use the yellow button to control between the two channels. Overall it is great and anytime I can watch two programs and rewind them both, it is great to me. Sorry if my grammar is not on par today. I am doing this from my iPhone.
i actually like it. the other way from the last CE might have been slowing the box down. the name seems appropriate to me since I would only use this for sports. also by just having the down button activate this feature,the yellow button is available with it's regular options on sports channels that have the new scoreguide feature. last weeks ce would disable the yellow button on sports channels with scoreguide.
I like it, but it should let you adjust the timer for up to 6 hours instead of just two then shutting it off.
I can understand why they would want it off by default, its a lot of wear and tare on the hard drive to have it recording two streams 24 hours a day 7 days a week, especially when a good part of the day people are not watching TV.

Doesn't turning your receiver off/standby stop all of the recoding (unless you are actually recording something)? Which is why when you turn your receiver on you cannot go back and rewind what you missed (unlike on the TiVO which is always recording). Which is probably why my TiVO uses more energy on standby than my HR100 uses when it is off.
my HR21 has always been able to rewind on the channel tuned to when i turn it on.
Really? Not on my HR20. No wonder why my HR20 uses very little energy when on standby (except for when it is recording).
There have been times when I turned on the receiver and wish I could have rewound the program (especially if I turn on the Dodger game after it already started). This is the one thing I like better about my TiVO than my HR20.
Do you know if this is true for all HR20s? Is this another difference between the HR20 and the others?
My HR20-700 does this, I often will come home from work and turn it on and if I'm on the channel I wanted to see, I can run it back 90 minutes ...
It must be something with my particular receiver? I wonder if this is why I don't get the national software glitches that everyone else gets from time to time? I wonder if this is why my receiver runs cooler than most and uses very little energy when off?
1.The name stinks, just call it swap.
2.Stop all of the "do you want to stop buffering so and so". You are making it too complicated.
3.When it starts it should ALWAYS be on and never turn off.

Mine is currently running at 126*, it's normally between 116* and 129*, but this is a normal temp for this unit.
Durprisingly, if I check right after a reboot (CE) it will be much lower.
You have a HR20- ? 700 or 100 ?

Yes, Gameswap is kinda strange

Never seen this question

I thought this too origianlly, but some have mentioned that it is harder on the wear and tear on your HD
