Important related information:
-HR21/HR20 Differences: The HR21 and HR20
are the same in all important respects except: (1) Color (black
vs silver), and (2) the presence of inputs for an off-air
antenna (HR20 has them; HR21 doesn't). If you don't care about
either of these things, then get the HR21.

NOTE: The HR10-250 (below) cannot receive or process signals in MPEG4
format, which means that it cannot get HD local channels via
satellite in most areas of the country. The HR10-250 WILL
process off-air HD signals.
