While being an installer for a local retailer of Directv, I have beeen exposed to just about every receiver and dvr that Directv has ever had to offer. Their most recent & current models of HD DVRs' - starting with HR20s through HR23s - are all basically similar to each other, with the HR20s being the only ones that are silver in color. Otherwise, very few changes in the subsequent models ( a little increase in the hard-drive memory, for example). So, a very reliable "work-horse" of a unit, as well as esthetically pleasing! The one main difference between HR23 HD DVR and all other Directv DVRs is that the HR23 unit does not need a BBC in-line converter with a non-SWiM system, whereas all other DVRs do, including their most recent HD DVR HR24 series. Not a big deal overall, more of a convenience, without any changes in the functionalities of the units.Read full review
This is an one great receiver for the money,you can record two items at the same time,and view a recording also while this is going on.Plus you can set a recording time with the receiver turned off,it will turn on the recording light,showing a recording going on,the light will go off when the recording is finished .. This is a fantastic item,very satisfied in every way .....
I wanted a receiver for my motor home. The ones in my home would not work with the dome on my motor home. This one works great. The best part is that I can use this receiver with the ones I have already at home.
I bought this because I wanted a 2nd HD receiver but I did not want to pay DTV the $225 for a new unit. I got this for under $100 and it works great. It was a little less expensive then other similar units up for bid.
We bought this hr-23-700 Receiver because we wanted an HD DVR. We used it for about 2 weeks after buying a new access card from Directv and it quit working. No power, nothing what so ever. Totally JUNK. Wish I'd never bought it.
