If you have one of the newest DVR receivers from DirecTV, the H20 and HR20 models, and a plasma TV, you might want to take one of them back.
According to Gary over at HD Guru, the DVR creates standard def 4:3 channel with vertical black bars, which is a nice look but if you leave it on too long on a plasma TV the bars will start to glow bright (burn in). LCD and DLP sets do not have to worry about this, but it's strange that DirecTV would drop the ball on something like this considering how much interest they've shown toward the HD industry.
Most DVRs have the gray bars and gray letterboxing because gray is the color of average screen wear, why DirecTV didn't follow suit with this is beyond me.
