I'm looking for a box to record OTA HD only, probably 20 hours or so per week in the fall. I currently have two HDDVR's with Directv, but due to some issues with the AM21, I wanna dump one, the AM21 tuner, and use the other for satellite channel recordings, while the TiVo does the OTA work.

I had a TivoHD for about a year awhile back, and loved it, just wasn't enough space so I bought a DVR expander. Looking at the prices on Amazon, just does not seem worth it to pay for even the standard premier, when you can get an HDXL for $270.

Just looking for some owner input before I pull the trigger. As far as I'm concerned, all the features the TivoHD had back in early 2009, we enough for me, so I'm missing a reason to spend more for OTA.

Tivo HD holds 20 HD hrs.
Premiere holds 45 HD hrs.
Both XL/PXL holds 150 HD hrs.

Premiere has had problems, some with HD menus, still not fixed yet.
