Excellent product

At $50 per unit ($100 at circuit City plus $50 rebate), this is an excellent buy. I've bought 2 already and would like to get another -- for $50 of course.

Hughes won't stand behind their product!

I love the functionality of the unit but my HDVR2 died after about a month. I called Hughes to get a replacement and was told that one would arrive in about 6 to 8 weeks! ***NO TV FOR 2 MONTHS*** I asked why so long and was told that "HDVR2 Sales are very

For DirecTV fans, this is a major upgrade. Recording is a snap, you can record two shows at once (you can't do that with a standalone TiVo) and the picture and sound quality is excellent (since it comes directly from your dish, there's no quality loss).

Compare before you buy!(caveat emptor) Don't let DirecTV hard sell you.
QuickTake:
Highly recommended product.

I have read negative reviews of this product, but I have had excellent results, with both picture and sound. There are rare, brief sound drops after pausing, but otherwise, no problems. Very easy to use, and my unit has been very reliable, but you may w
