Actually makes sense. They wrote this around their highest compression format (MPEG4 and simplified it by only supporting one. More effort and complication to support more than one.
HR24. Simply put, its here, its available, its fast, it does advanced features (youtube, on demand, MRV, etc.) And you can get deals if you ask for retention when you call up Directv. Just say you are thinking of going to Dish or Cable.
I personally dont miss the Tivo but I know my wife liked it. The key for me has to be the integration with the other Directv units. If it can't do whole house sharing then this is a complete no go. I love how my 3 DVRs work together as a collective with the power of recording 6 things at...
I was watching Directv's capacity the other day. They are certainly the leader. The transponder signal meter checks were very entertaining. Who says D12 is a disappointment? :rolleyes:
For me personally
1 - Red Sox versus Yankees
2 - Every God Damn team against the Yankees
3 - Eagles versus Cowboys or Giants
4 - UConn Women BBall versus Tennessee (whats wrong with you Pat Summit??)
5 - UConn Men BBall versus Syracuse
6 - UConn football - looking for one
7 - USA soccer versus...
Cool SatJay. I thought about a second unit but my existing HR20's are acting more like back end DVRs to do the recording and the playing is handled on my HR24. I got an H24 for outside and it plays the recorded shows off the old slow HR20's pretty well. But I agree, the HR24 is finally a...
My retention credits and the HD for life is missing too. I knew that CSR screwed things up when I called a month ago. None of the things he said stuck. Great another call back.
Correct. If you are on an HR24 for example and hit record on a program, it records it to the HR24. If you do that on an H23 for example, it will then ask you which DVR do you want to record to.
Its a great feature of the H2x's. Thats why I had to have the network jack on my H23. You can tell it to record to any of your DVR's and play them back. This whole home DVR thingy has come a long way and is working great.
I already have 3 DVRS and because of unplugging and mobility of the unit, I didnt want to get a unit with a hard drive. The HR24 is clearly the better unit and is noticeably faster. They are both great units and glad I fried my H23. ;)
I am not activist but if people would just show this much interest in renewable energy, we would be off oil in weeks. Damn, I think the folks from Apple should take over the government and BP.
The network port on my H23 died. I need MRV so I need the network jack. I couldnt get a deal from Directv and wanted to ensure I got an H24 so I ordered one from Amazon.com via 6th avenue for $97 with free shipping. It got to my house in 2 days.
I was stunned at how small the unit is. I...
Dont care about anything but BBC America HD. And even that, I've been all set since they released Comedy Central HD. As much as I dont mind more movie channels, I barely find enough stuff to watch on one of them.
So from a business perspective, the HD spectrum is pretty darn good and I...
I have an HR24, H24, HR20-100 and an HR20-700. All are connected via a private network and Ethernet. HR24 and H24 have the DECA built in. If I were to get only one DECA for the connection to my router, will the built-in DECA units be able to see the Ethernet wired units (legacy HR20's)?
I...
Called Directv and they wont touch the H23 networking issue since I dont have their whole home solution. I could have called back and just said the unit wont start at all but I ordered an H24 instead on Amazon for $97 with free shipping. I want the speed of the H24.
Reverting back to see if it fixes issue. If not, its a call to Directv. Might try to snag an H24. They wont send one, but maybe I can get credits to go get one. After the speed of the HR24, everything under an Hxx4 is embarrassing.
Has anyone had a problem with the network jack go dead after the CE? No lights are showing and no connection. Tested the cord and line and its good so its on the H23 unit.
