I've had the HR20 for almost 2 months now. I can't say that I've really had any problems, other than the fact that the Caller ID has never worked and I really don't care for the jerkiness of the trick play functions. That being said, I think the quality of the Directv HD feeds is terrible. Way worse than Comcast. Any fast movement or quick scene changes causes massive picture break-up. I didn't see this on my friends Comcast connection.

I keep hearing Directv evangelists on dbstalk.com speculating that when the new sats go up, they'll increase the bandwidth of the current channels, but I seriously doubt it.

As it stands, I'm really not a very satisfied customer. HD seems just a step above standard (non-progressive) DVD.
