Limited time offer - get bonus package Sony STR DH800 here; HD DVR

Some of DBSTalk's Cutting Edge members were extended a chance by DirecTV to field test the most recent member of the HR family - the DirecTV HR23. Outwardly theDirecTV HR23 retains the now familiar styling of its predecessors, but that's where the similarity ends. The DirecTV HR23 includes enhancements directly supporting ongoing hardware initiatives like the SWM ODUs, At the same time, recording capacity has been increased to take virtue the contemporary HD enlargement. The first noticeable differences between DirecTV HR23 and other HD-DVR receivers is the capability to receive all of the high definition channels without B-Band converters.

Specials and bonuses: DirecTV HR23

Once you power on your DirecTV HR23, you need to notice the boot time is a little faster than other DVRs. After the DVR boots up, you must notice the picture is a little more clear. The menus, guides and the programming of DirecTV HR23 seem a little sharper than other DVRs. The guide and menus are laid out the same as other DirecTV DVRs. The sound output by the DirecTV HR23 apparently has gotten a bit louder and possibly clearer.
After setting up your 'Series Links" and recording your fave shows, you will begin to notice that your playlist will have a higher share of space available. This is because of the inclusion of a 500GB hard drive. My feeling is that it kind of feels like I am able to record twice as many shows/movies as I was on my HR20-700. With the last HD channels that were broadcast with MPEG2 compression now being broadcast with MPEG4 compression, this will permit for an extra additional increase in the programs that may be recorded ( presuming you record the former MPEG2 channels).
Most of the time the DirecTV HR23 appears to run as quick ( if not quicker ) than my HR20-700. , there are moments where the menu and guide navigation drag a bit. It is a reasonably safe bet that DirecTV will continue to reinforce both performance and functionality thru Cutting Edge updates.
generally, the DirecTV HR23 is highly recommended for anybody looking to add a new DVR. I would also endorse this DVR DirecTV HR23 for anyone that wants to increase their storage in comparison to their DVR. Not even 2 full months after DirecTV's HR22 started filtering out to fervent users, in flies a first look at the upcoming DirecTV HR23. It looks like the HDD of the HD DVR is identical size as that in the HR22, with the big changes being a few cosmetic tweaks and internal swaps that could amount to better video standard. DirecTV released the DirecTV HR23 receiver as a new revolutionary release to beat competition, an update to the current HR2x series.
The enhancements are:
The tuners are BBC / SWM switching, meaning that the BBC (small converter box hooked to the satellite input) is no longer required. The receiver detects if the conversion is mandatory, or if the users have an SWM switch mechanically. Leading to nearly double the storage ( because 50gb is reserved for D* recordings (ppv/showcases) on either drive).
