HR20-700 - Directv HD DVR

EDITS

4/14/2009 - I hadn't edited this page in a while but I thought I would take a minute to tell you what has been going on with these boxes.

- As of 4/14/09, multi-room viewing is now available to the beta community. That's right, you can watch a program from one box on another box in another part of the house (this assumes you are networked). I was able to stream a 1080p trailer flawlessly to another box.
- Full 1080p (blu ray quality) on-demand videos are coming
- With the help of free programs like TVersity, I can stream audio and video from anywhere on my network as well as any video link on the web

The new object of my affection.... Directv's HR-20 High Definition DVR. Directv really does a great job with this unit as they frequently add new features, including media share. Use the beta tester link to get the newest upgrades well before they are released nationally. Feel free to ask me a question using the "Comment" button below.
