Review summary While it's not compatible with your cable company's interactive and video-on-demand services, the TiVo HD's excellent onscreen interface and long list of network and Internet features puts it in a class above the generic high-def DVRs offered by most cable providers. The DirecTV HR20 is easy to use and offers plenty of features, but its operational bugs make use more of a headache than with other DVRs. The Dish Network ViP622 and 722 are among the most fully featured and versatile high-def DVRs you can buy today. The Dish Network ViP622 and 722 are among the most fully featured and versatile high-def DVRs you can buy today. The TiVo HD XL charges a hefty premium for its spacious recording capacity and THX certification, but most users will be content sticking to the all-but-identical standard TiVo HD DVR.
