DirecTV’s Leaky Spandex Reveals Superhero

It may not be able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but it is capable of recording 100 hours of HD programming. It’s the HR21 PRO by DirecTV. This information was leaked from a CEDIA advertisement (shown above).
Here’s the mild-mannered list of known specs:
1. Faster than a speeding bullet! It’s equipped with “Optical HDMI Output (DLI)”. This means you’ll be able to have longer runs of cable, due the the use of fiber optics instead of the regular [short] HDMI cables.
2. More powerful than a locomotive! It’ll be the first DirecTV DVR to support 1080p.
3. It’s the Brand-Of-Steel! It’s rack-mountable, for those who have home theater rigs.
There’s no pricing yet available, and supposedly, it’s due for flight in November. So keep an eye out for this friendly neighborhood DVR (it felt wrong not to include at least one Marvel reference).
