buckley102284 says "Forced to switch from TiVo to this basic DVR" about DIRECTV Group - HR20-700S DVR

If wanted to have a HD DVR with Direct TV, I had no choice but get this reciever.
The Seach feature, the "To Do List", and just about every menu on this reciever are almost impossible to navigate without feeling like you are carrying buckets of sand after using the Direct TV w/TiVo for the last few years. When I'm looking for a show or actor or sporting event, I usually look it up on one of my TiVo's and then go set it up on this reciever. Because I have Direct TV this HD DVR is a neccesary evil.

I've had a TiVo DVR since 1999, but I was still recording shows on my VCR, if I wanted to have a permanent copy of something. (example: soccer games), I had to use a VCR; but with the Humax TiVo/DVD Recorder, I can "TiVo" a show or sporting event and then transfer it directly onto a DVD. The TiVo/DVD Recorder is the easiest DVD recorder I've ever used. I use it with a Direct TV HD reciever, and although it's not recording the DVD's in HD, the picture quality of the DVD's is great.
