I have both the HR20 and Dish VIP 622 HD DVR's. While the Dish unit has more features and is better built, the HR20 is working fine and is easy to use.
I recently connected a 750Gb external hard drive to the HR20, so now I have a whole lot more record time. HD programs use up a lot of memory quickly with the internal drive.
Jeff: I'm interested in connecting an external hard drive as you did. Is this difficult to do? Do you just connect it to the USB port? Is it accessable via the HR20 menus? If not how does it work.
