<\/center> <\/p>\n The fine fellows over at WeaKnees, who did the Tech Editing for my TiVo book<\/a>, emailed to tell us that they’re now selling high-capacity versions of DirecTV’s HD DVR (non-TiVo). This is significant because, until now, it was impossible to get more capacity into this box. Michael writes on their blog<\/a>: <\/p>\n “Since the HR20-700 was released, people have come to us looking for upgrades. And now we’re ready to upgrade the HR20-700<\/a> units! We are now selling two upgraded HR20-700s: a 100 hour HD unit, and a 145 hour HD unit.<\/p>\n We’re still TiVo fanatics at heart, but since the TiVo HR10-250 is out of production and DirecTV’s new channels can only come through this new DVR, we’re upgrading it also.<\/p>\n Finally, if you already have an HR20, and you want to send it to us for an upgrade, we’re doing that too. Just find the HR20-700 upgrade<\/a> that you want, and once you checkout, we’ll email shipping information. Send us your unit, and we’ll turn it around within two business days (most often the same day, in fact). Due to various complexities, we are not offering self-install kits.” <\/p>\n Phooey on that last bit. But the rest is good news for DirecTV owners, and if you’re going to send your precious box to anybody, you can’t do better than these guys. <\/p>\n
