Adding a second TV - any tips?

[Joseph Giorgianni]

Hi all,

We've had DirecTV for about four months, very happy with the service and cost.

We only have one TV hooked up with a HD DVR (HR24-500).

My wife wants me to hook up another TV in another room. Once again, we would want a HD-DVR. Would also like one that can record more than two shows at once. Would also like to be able to watch shows that were recorded on either DVR from either TV.

Any tips or recommendations? Thanks!

more then 2 shows at once recording would mean a genie(hr-34)
since you have only been a customer for 4 months it would most likley cost 399+install

you will see people suggest to always get any equipment you may ever need when you get your initial install
this is because after that point you dont get a discount, until you are out of contract

Get a second DVR for the other TV. That will let you record up to 4 programs simultaneously (two per DVR). If you have MRV, you can watch either playlist from either TV.
