I don’t think anyone on here is DirectTV rep or subcontractor. Just a FYI HD/DVR boxes from D\* run you 99 upfront unless you get the everything package with NFL Sunday Ticket. Any reason for prefering DirecTV? ---

> [@BuickGN](#): > > yeah more HD Ok I said that when i was originally going to get DirecTV but then I looked at each’s Hd lineup and seen what each carried versus what i actually watch. Dish network is pretty comparable and DVR is far better feature set and stability wise. Look at [dbstalk.com](http://dbstalk.com) and the VIP722/622 forum and the HR20/HR21 forums ---

It is PPV downloadable movies nothing more. Dish has OnDemand in the pipe but I just rather use Netflix. My little list that irriates me on the HR series is… lack of 30 skip not enabled by default (found you can do some hack to enable it but i am not sure if it only applys to Cutting Edge software releases which you have to enroll in at dbstalk.) IR sluggishness and responiveness There guide while granted being much nicer than Dish network can also be sluggish and squirmish lack of dual live buffering the HR20 has 4 tuners (2 ota/2 sat) and the hr21 with AM21 has the same but yet I can only record 2 shows at once… seriously wtf is up with that… I know the hardware in there can do more! ---

One thing I will say if DirecTV has content you are looking for that Dish doesn’t by all means I understand the choice. I just happen to be a DVR nut who hates certain features not being there. Comes from using a Tivo for a bit which is the benchmark for dvr’s in my book. But I believe in choosing the product that works best for you, was only offering a few alternate options and wondering why you wanted them versus Dish 🙂 ---
