new samsung hd dvr that supports mrv

[Steve Mehs]

Yes, Samsung DVRs don't support PIP. I had the Samsung Multiroom DVRs for two days with Time Warner before I called up and requested they be swapped out for Ciscos. Thanks for the drive info, it wasn't just the receivers I had then. For some reason there is over 60GB of 'missing' space when comparing the Samsung H3272 to the Cisco 4642HDC. Top image is from the Samsung, bottom was taken a few minutes later when they had the Ciscos hooked up.

okay, can someone clarify because i'm getting conflicted info? i was originally told the samsung hd dvr i have would work in a mrv setup. however, saturday it sounded like a sales person tole me it would not. also, you can utilize mrv with an hd dvr and an hd receiver?

Saw a commercial this morning for the MRV for BrightHouse CFL and decided to call to get the details:
*$20.00 a month for the service
*$6.95 per additional HD Viewer Box, but this is going up to over $8.00 March 1st
*$100 Installation Fee
*500GB of storage for up to 60 hours of HR programming

The pricing was pretty much what was stated already, but I was not ready for the limitations on the additional viewer box:

*Can only watch recordings
*Can't manage recordings or the main DVR (can't delete, set recording, managed series recording options, etc...)
*Can only Pause/Rew/FF records, not live TV (like the normal DVR)

This sounds more like a shell game than anything else... Not sure it is really worth at least $30 a month (service and one additional TV), but that's just MHO.

directv's mrv was really nice. and it wasn't an additional 20 dollars a month but 3.99. plus, you weren't limited as to what you could do.

my understanding from bhn is that one of your units has to be a dvr; the second unit can be a receiver. they both have to have moca capability.
