DirecTV's HD DVR or HMC HD DVR?

[Maverick77]

Hello, this is my first post here. The reason I am posting is that I called DirecTV about getting whole home DVR service. They said that I need to upgrade my current HD DVR (over 3 years old) first. They gave me two choices (each with a $49.99 installation charge): I can upgrade to their newer HD DVR (400 hour storage capacity) for free or I could upgrade to the new HMC HD DVR for $299 (they offered me $100 off the $399 price).

My question: Is the HMC HD DVR worth paying $299 for over their other HD DVR?

You still under contract? If not you should be able to get the HMC for $99

So I just called and they said it is a full $399 now, they didn't even offer me the $100 off I got from the guy last night. They said the fact that I am not under contract doesn't matter.

It just says HD DVR on the front. They did tell me that it wouldn't work with whole home DVR service and I would need to upgrade either to their newer DVR or the HMC DVR.

Not true at all! New Customers get $300 rebate. Not existing ones.
