Best DirecTV HD DVR

[casaozeta]

I have a couple of HR20 HD DVRs and I'd like to upgrade. Is there a new model coming out in a month or two? Should I get the HR24 or H24 now, or wait a month or two for something newer? Is there an HR25/H25 in the works? BTW, what is the difference between HR24 and H24? I want to use the multi-room features. Thanks for your advice.

Nothing new coming that I have heard anything about.

The difference is the HR24 is a HD DVR where as the other is a regular HD recvr.

I was a little worried that the DirecTivo that has been rumored would be coming out soon; but I went ahead with the install of a HR24 and H24 anyway. To be honest, The HR24 is great (If I can ever get the TV Apps to work, its my only complaint). I have had this system about five days now and I am still saying "Wow, now thats a 'smart' feature, why didn't Dish Network think about that? (I had the Dish Network 722 before). I think even if something comes out in 6 months or so, you will be very happy with the HR24.

You could always wait and see what the OWNED price is on the box and then purchase out right and avoid comittment. hddvr 499 I goint to wildly guess that they will say the box is 699 or more. Again that number is based on nothing but a wild random number.

If you BUY it, does D* cover it like anything else ? (I have PP)

its covered as long as you have PP but if you dont have PP then it not covered unless your with in your 90 day warranty period for the equipment.

I am considering it yes. Depends on if dtv lets me go this year and if I can get time off my other job which should be easy assuming no big projects come up before ces time. As dtv usually only lets me have one vacation break a year and I usually go to up state NY for that.

The OLD team moved on and the young one has arrived ... and won the Stanley Cup already . (Since Stevie Y retired)
