It is as good as an HR21, HR22 or HR23 HD DVRs. As long as the unit is out of warranty, you can increase the size of the hard drive, without direrctv's wrath. Also, it does have an off-air antenna input, which could also be used as just an additional TV input for convenience. And, being an earlier model and this perceived as somewhat inferior, one can get it at substantial savings compared to the other models!
Just as advertized. This the second one I've bought from eBay. I prefer this model over the latest ones because this one has over-the-air (OTA) local channels capability built-in. And if I want to open it up and replace the hard drive with a 1TB HD I can do so without DTV threatening me with life imprisonment :). Just be sure to get the receiver ID and verify via DTV that it is owned by the seller and not leased... BEFORE bidding!
They said that it was completely all there how ever.the direct TV card. So I was not able to use I just got unit that I could not use with direct tv.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I have owned a unit like this for some time without any issues at all. That is why I bought another and expect about the same.
