New Year's Choice: Which would you choose; HR20 or HR10-250

[ebonovic]

I have a friend that has a presentation to do.
And we where brainstorming on a topic.... at the same time I was on the forums..

So we thought it would be a good question to ask.

To "standardize" some things:

• You are staying with DirecTV for what ever reason, and don't care about the 2 year commitment
• The systems would be at no cost to you
• HR20 has OTA/ViiV (the latest build is pushed out)
• HR10-250 has 6.3b and is stock (not hacked)
• The 2007 SAT launches haven't happened yet
• Other appropriate hardware is not an issue (multiswitches, dish, ect)

So straight up... HR20 vs HR10

If you where offered an HR20 or an HR10-250
Which would you choose?

And yes... I do know what forum this is...
I am posting this accross the three major forums.....

To get as much input as possible.

HR20-700

Much quicker guide and has MPEG4 capabilities, newer electronics, better OTA tuner ....

I definatly would not chose the unit that is already 2 years (appox) old.
Newer technology .....
Older technology works when it's a Classic , but the HR10-250 is hardly a Classic.
They originally came out to do the install with a HR10-250 and I told them I wanted the new equipment, they found the new one's and brought it out the next day.

While I do not have a D*HD Dvr(yet) I voted for the HR20-700 as when(or if, come on LIN...) the Albuqurque channels come up I would need MPEG4 capabilitys...

I voted for the HR20-700 because I'd want the DVR intended for the future.
