Help with HDTV DVR

912 Views 2 Replies 3 Participants Last post by  mjones73
I'm in the market for a HDTV DVR. I have an over the air antenna only. I mainly want to record digital TV programs. In Los Angeles, it's 2.1, 4.1, 7.1 etc..


What is the best value DVR I can get to record digital TV shows?


Can i get Direct TV DVR HR21? Will this work without subscribing to Direct TV and only using my OTA antenna?


Thanks for all your help.

Wait till the Echostar TR-50 DVR comes out (July) - sounds like it was meant for folks like you. There's a thread for it over in the HDTV recorders section.

No.


Your current options are a Tivo Series 3 or build/purchase a home media PC. If you can wait as mentioned, the TR-50 sounds like a viable option also.
