I switched to directv and got 4 HR24s (had to bribe the installer) but nonetheless I've been plugging along using the same setup for 5-6 years. My contract is up again and I usually call and when I do they usually offer discounts and/or new equipment with a 1/2 year extension. I enjoy my current setup, but I'll admit it's annoying having 4 to-do lists and I get more errors and need to do a reset or clear my box more often on a couple units.
1) what upgraded equipment is out and how much better is it and is it pretty future proof (4k, max tuners, etc)???
2) am I better off with current equipment is there new amazing stuff on the horizon in 1-2 years?
3) Are there any downsides to the new equipment? Can I get one genie to try it and keep the other 3 HR24s? Or is this impossible or a bad idea?
I rarely record more than 4 shows at once(having the ability to do 8 doesn't hurt my feelings though). But I absolutely hate complexity and input lag in my receivers. Thanks for all your help just curious where we are on the upgrade cycle.
