    DISH HOPPER SPEC SHEETS

    Some of what you say isn't how I understand it. As a NEW Direct customer, which I am, if I would have added one more tuner giving me a total of 9 tuners (5 in the HR34 + 4 more tuners for 5 rooms total) they would have given me the different LNB and SWM16 for free. The SWM16 is still SWM...

    DISH HOPPER SPEC SHEETS

    My only DVR is the HR34. My reading of posts from other people that have multiple Direct DVR's is that even old models of Direct DVR's share a single playlist of recordings if they are on a single whole home viewing network. I have read of people limiting out at 10 DVR's playlists being...

    DISH HOPPER SPEC SHEETS

    It isn't theoretical. I have had a HR34 for over a month now since I am a new customer. If I wanted to buy another one on the internet and pay full price I could have (2) right now. The only pure RVU clients right now are Samsung TV's but they are on the market. I am not using a RVU TV as a...

    DISH HOPPER SPEC SHEETS

    What am I missing? You can add another HR34 as soon as D* is willing to activate 2 on an account. That gives 10 tuners with the caveat of two 'to do lists'. They should be usable from any RVU client which is basically the same concept as the Joey. Right now I am using H25's as my clients so...

    DirecTV HR-34 - disappointing

    Mine is a new install with the Cinema Kit and (3) H25's. Despite my complaint which I attribute to growing pains, I don't regret my choice because 90-95% of the time it works flawlessly. I really have only had 2 reboots that I know of and I discovered because I couldn't see the HR34 from the...

    DirecTV HR-34 - disappointing

    I have the same problems. I have displayed the mesh values and they are all good for DECA everywhere on the RG6 network. I have (3) H25's connected to the HR34. I sometimes have to hit "try again" multiple times in order to connect from the H25 to the HR34 before it actually plays. I also...

    Questions for Joe Clayton?

    There seems to be a difference in engineering philosophy between Dish and Direct. Specifically, it looks like Direct is going ALL IN for server based content delivery using thin RVU clients. The groundwork requires a server host with a bunch of GENERAL purpose tuners so thin clients have...

    DISH Hopper coming at CES ?

    I have the home media center HD dvr which is the HR34. It supports two types of clients: (1) a HD stb compatible with DECA (ethernet over coax) (2) a RVU compatible TV. It can support up to 15 clients with 3 independent streams in addition to the built in 5 tuners per HR34. I have even...

    DISH Hopper coming at CES ?

    I have a Direct HR34 installed and working in my home for the last two weeks because I am a new customer from cable. I have a H25 HD stb hooked up to an old 19" Magnavox in the kitchen that only has line input and it can play any recording or initiate any recording from my HR34. For me, I...

    DISH Hopper coming at CES ?

    I have had a Direct HR34 for about 2 weeks with 3 extra HD TV's. The HR34 can play to any other HD compatible stb with DECA (their ethernet over coax), there is no need for a special TV. The first tuner is free so I am paying $6 additional for each of the 3 stb's. Each stb is also independent...

    Questions about the new XiP Receivers?

    I signed up as a brand new customer from cable to Direct last week specifically because Dish didn't have a product yet. I would have preferred Dish if they had a product. My new HR34 is installed and uses any existing HD tuner box as a "client" so a new "RVU" tv is not required. I am able...

    Bill Problem, DirecTV rep tells me there was a "glitch" on everyones bills that were dated 12/26?, C

    It is an unfair business practice that the FCC/Congress should investigate. The issue is encouraging "autopay" so a person can't adjust the money they send in for the next bill during a dispute. Verizon backed down on their $2 autopay fee. Where would that leave Direct on their $10 autopay...

    DIRECTV HR34 Home Media Center

    I have one. It only has the normal AV outputs. The tuners are for recording and streaming to other compatible receivers not running other TV's. Mine streams to my other H25 receivers which have the built in DECA.
