Fact: HR22 is physically smaller than either of it's predecessors (W 14.88" H 2.75" D 11.56" ) Fact: It has been significantly redesigned to run substantially COOLER. Case has no vents on top- only on the sides. I did not take actual measurements, but will say the the HR22 runs 15-20 degrees cooler than my previous HR20-700. I do not believe it has a fan. Fact: 500 Gig HD- same as HR21 Pro ($600 at Amazon) Fact: Best price on HR22: Costco $170. Fact: HR22 is LEASED UNIT ONLY.The purchase price is the cost to upgrade. D is phasing out customer owned boxes.Fact: HR22 uses a new Access Card. Fact: HR22 currently not available from D. If you got a BLACK box from D, it is assuredly an HR21. HR22's will not likely be available from D until they exhaust their stockpile of refurbed HR20-700's.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[edtombell]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 19th 2008 10:12AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on DirecTV's HR22 HD DVR filtering out]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/14/directvs-hr22-hd-dvr-filtering-out/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/14/directvs-hr22-hd-dvr-filtering-out/</guid><description><![CDATA[I "accidently" bought one at Best Buy (thought it was HR21) about a month ago.  Once I got to check out I realized it was HR22 and purchased.  Seems to work OK.  Uses "Tivo like" recording features.  Records series of a specific show, but will not try to guess preferrences by Genre or anything like that.  <br><br>Dual tuner, but only single output and no multiroom support... WHY DIRECTV!!!!!<br><br>Will try use both tuners to record while watching a show but it does give you a heads up.  New remote expands supported devices so now I can operate my HP set.  They also removed RF remote support on this unit... WHY DIRECTV!!!!!<br><br>I still think Dish has better receivers with thier ViP series.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Michael Ball]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 23rd 2008 3:55PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on DirecTV's HR22 HD DVR filtering out]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/14/directvs-hr22-hd-dvr-filtering-out/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/14/directvs-hr22-hd-dvr-filtering-out/</guid><description><![CDATA[There is a rf remote with this unit.

However, upon closer examination of the demo, it was actually a HR21!  Asked the mgr to open a box marked HR22, and lo and behold, the shiny black unit was actually a HR21 sealed in newly marked HR22 box!<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mike Portland]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 12th 2008 3:24AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on DirecTV's HR22 HD DVR filtering out]]></title><link>http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/14/directvs-hr22-hd-dvr-filtering-out/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/09/14/directvs-hr22-hd-dvr-filtering-out/</guid><description><![CDATA[I work for DirecTV as a Installer (Colorado Springs, co) and I can vouch that the new HR-23's are out there, just in few supply at lest here in the springs, I have installed a few here in the last few weeks and I can say they are much easier to install than the older HR-20's or even the HR-22's. The fact that the HR-23 has built in "b-band converters" is nice...just one more thing that can't go faulty, and the capability to integrate the new SWM capable Dish LMB's is great, it makes the install much easier and less complicated on multi room installs, especially when the customer wants 4 HD-DVRs in their home or more! I just can't wait until the HR-23's are standard, and we move away from the HR-21's and 22's. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dwayne]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 3rd 2008 10:43PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
