Ok, hooked up the HR 24 and one word, WOW
Night and day difference from there previous HDDVR's!!
First,size-Its compact and looks Modern, like something from 2010 not 1983-Its not that large boxy look the other recievers have
Second, Speed-what a diffrence to scrooll through channels at light speed and change channels at light speed!
My only regret-That I did not get two at the same time-In a few months for sure get another one for my other room,using the old HDDVR's just isnt right
Directv I know advertising recievers is not your thing but do it, get the word out!!
