Hughes Digital Video Recorders (DVRs)

The Bottom Line: CNET did not review the DirecTV HR21 but we did review the HR20, which is very similar.

Specs: HD DVR, 15.0 in x 11.8 in x 3.0 in, 200 hour(s), 2, Remote control

The Bottom Line: The DirecTV HR20 is easy to use and offers plenty of features, but its operational bugs make use more of a headache than with other DVRs.

Specs: HD DVR, 15.1 in x 12.2 in x 2.8 in, 200 hour(s), 4, Remote control

The Bottom Line: The R10 receiver delivers TiVo's best-in-class DVR to DirecTV subscribers at an unbeatable price.

The Bottom Line: If you're a DirecTV viewer who just can't live without the TiVo interface and can settle for its operational caveats, the aging DirecTV HR10-250 HD TiVo is a worthwhile DVR option.
