Hardware isn't everythng and the HR34 has some issues to be worked out. If DIRECTV programming suits you better, that's the reason to change.

Using DIRECTV's existing "Whole Home DVR Service" (as opposed to their non-existent RVU facility).
you would use the whole home setup. They will give you H25's which are full function receivers and can "tap" into the DVR on the HR34
By DirecTV current method of using their MRV DECA Cloud. You can schedule a record, play a record and delete a record that's on any HR (DVR Receiver) from any H (non-DVR Reiver) while on the DECA Cloud.
I upgraded my PN59D8000 to version 1024 on Monday evening. There was no change, in other words it still does not see the HR34. I can't speak for the LED line, since my set is plasma, but I would expect it is similar. I still cant believe that they have not activated this feature on the 7000 and 8000 series yet, since they are at the top of the range.
I have used my HR34 for over a week and have been very happy, haven't had any "issues." I replaced a HR24 that I really liked with this HR34, but it was for the 5 tuners. It is really nice to be able to record 4 things, and watch live TV.

Hey Mr. Iceberg, here is my setup now:
5-LNB dish, four cables come into the house and into a powered 4x8 multiswitch.
Three HR2x DVRs connected with 2 cables each to the multiswitch.
If I add an HR34, what exactly needs to be replaced by the DirecTV installer? Just the multiswitch, or will they need to do something with the dish?
They will swap the LNB out on the dish. But if you are keeping the 3 DVR's and adding the HR34 then it requires the SWM16 setup as you'd be at 11 tuners. The good thing is each receiver only needs one cable from the switch
With the SWM16 yeah they'll need all 4 lines so scratch part of what I said...they wont switch anything out at the dish. Its all done inside

A few cups of coffee, starting to feel alive. Now, the question of the day:
Am I at the front end of the 8-12, or the back end
