DirecTV HD DVR HR20-700 (HD-TiVo)
DirectTV’s HD DVR, the HR20-700, or as some people call it, HD-TiVo. Reports are out that the device will be out some time August, after many months of delays. The DirecTV HD DVR is basically a HD version of the very popular TiVo service, strangely enough the HD version has lost the popular TiVo tag. It will have all the same functions and more than the original Tivo with the ability to record pause, play HD Content.
