DIRECTV HR34 Home Media Center

I went ahead and bit the bullet and ordered one of these from Solid Signal. Maybe it will be here some time next week. I guess I should be ok with the current set up. I have a SWM LNB going to a SWM 4 way splitter. I will have the HR34 with 5 tuners, one HR24 with 2 tuners, and one H25 with 1 tuner. That is 8 tuners so I guess I am in good shape there.
 
I'm assuming it's a typo at the end of this posting where it talks about a Directv TiVo unit.

I am hearing the TIVO will be available on Thursday as well, but I don't have anything in writing from DIRECTV on it like I do for the HR34.
 
huh. It'd better integrate well with existing accounts or what's the point? Otherwise, I can see this fragmenting the Directv brainshare.

Scott,

Can I order from Solid Signal and get a rebate as a current customer? Does the rebate come from DirecTV, how do you apply for the rebate, do any customers qualify? I'd love to replace my HR24 with a HR34.

I don't know about the prices other then what I posted here... I would ASSume that the $99 price is for new customers and not existing customers. Since the email was sent out to retailers, retailers are only interested in new customers and not normally upgrades.
 
I dont know if he does DIRECTV receivers or only does new customer sign ups, but you could always call up and ask. :D

I do not mean to ask something that has already been answered, but I would like a little clarification. Will existing subscribers be able to call DirecTv on Thursday, and upgrade, say a HR24 for a HR34? And then DTV will issue a $300 rebate in some form or another?

Any ideas ??? Is this one of those $50/mo on your bill credits up to $300?
 
It sounds like the HR34 is just like the current series of HRx receivers, except that it has 5 tuners rather than 2 and adds support for RVU devices. So it will communicate with the other Hx and HRx receivers through DECA and MRV.
 
Remote viewing requires a model H25 HD Receiver(s) or RVU-capable TV in each additional room,

This part of the fine print is what was confusing to me...Is "remote veiwing" different than "whole home DVR"?

Good catch. I didn't see that part and had to look at that again. Looks like if you don't have an RVU-capable TV, you can use an H25 as a RVU Box. But then you would still have to pay the extra $6/month because you have a 2nd receiver on the account right? Even if you buy a H25 instead of leasing it? If that's the case, I'll wait and see if D* releases their C30 RVU client and see the details for that box. To me if you can buy the C30 client and not be charged the extra $6/month, it could save customers some money in the long-term.

I've read that they will charge per active RVU, so there is no savings on receiver fees. It will make for a cleaner install though.

and if they do and cable does not or cables all vid does not have a per TV fee and then directv will be in big trouble.
