I'm looking for a HD dvd recorder that will work with the DirecTv HD box?

If you mean a high-definition DVD recorder, no such thing exists.

If you mean a hard drive based SD recorder, then see the following threads:



Philips DVDR3575H (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=830253)

Polaroid DRA-01601A (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=839036)

Magnavox H2080MW8 (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=920073)

If you want to record DirecTV's high-definition content, then you need to buy their HDTV DVR for $199. It recently dropped from $299 to $199.
