The newest Direct TV HD DVR is awesome.If you have Direct TV and do not have a DVR of any kind that is a must plus if you have the ability definately get the HD one.The HDDVD is great for all kinds of people because we all know the shows do not come on tv when we are free.Now though with the Direct TV HDDVR they do!You can set all your favorite shows and search them many ways.You can choose keywords,exact name of show,or genres.The display on the tv could be alot faster but thats the only thing I can say bad about it.You will like the sleek black look and the nice blue lights it uses to show its on.This retails for $200 but if you sign up with direct tv now its free for the first unit which is by far the best deal around.I also got direct tv to give a second one for $60.The quality of the HD is amazing I really enjoyed HBO boxing where it felt like I was sitting ringside.I would highly suggest to look ito buying one soon.
