The Bottom Line	The R10 receiver delivers TiVo's best-in-class DVR to DirecTV subscribers at an unbeatable price.	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.	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.	CNET did not review the DirecTV HR21 but we did review the HR20, which is very similar.	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.
