DirecTV is currently producing the HR21 – the HD DVR (not a TiVo!) that gets their entire current lineup of HD channels. But the HR21 doesn’t get over the air antenna (or OTA) broadcasts. The predecessor to the HR21 – the HR20 – does. And we now have them in stock.
OTA broadcasts are very important. Local stations broadcast HD in very high quality in almost every part of the country. They also generally broadcast more than one sub-channel. So for the highest quality and best variety you should include OTA channels in your lineup.
DirecTV dropped OTA support in the HR21, but since the HR20 had it, we’ve done everything we can to get our hands on more HR20s, and we’ve got them, both stock and upgraded. They’re at the bottom of our DirecTV HD DVR page.
