HR20: buggy and unresponsive, but customers seem to love it anyways? {Engadget HD}
Feb 24th 2007 4:07PM Speak for yourself Charley..
I've had the HR20 for several months now as an upgrade from multiple series1 and Series2 D-TiVos, along with a standard Samsung HD tuner. True, it IS more stable now compared to the initial version I picked up at BestBuy, and I am pleased that the OTA tuners were finally activated, but this is still a frustrating piece of hardware.
I have it connected to a Panny projector via. component and it's most common problem is where the picture is solid black, although the menus continue to function normally. Granted, it only happens about once every 2 weeks, but that's far too often for me. Aside from that, the other main problem is how it doesn't maintain a stable digital audio signal during commercial transitions resulting in lots of audible pops & clicks with each break.
I like the fast menus and "normal operation" is generally pretty good, but adding & managing scheduled recordings is a pain compared to my original Tivo units. I find that pretty sad considering how old Tivo is now.... is it really that hard to replicate that kind of usability!?
