The Bottom Line CNET did not review the DirecTV HR21 but we did review the HR20, which is very similar. 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. The Dish Network ViP622 and 722 are among the most fully featured and versatile high-def DVRs you can buy today. While it's not compatible with your cable company's interactive and video-on-demand services, the TiVo HD's excellent onscreen interface and long list of network and Internet features puts it in a class above the generic high-def DVRs offered by most cable providers.
