HR24-100 vs. HR24-500 HD-DVR

[mitchflorida]

I am a new DirecTV subscriber, and the HR24-500 that they installed had a faulty network card. The installer has replaced it with a new HR24-100, which works very well.

What is the hardware difference between these two models? I probably should find out now to see if I need to call them back to get the HR24-500 back again.

The HR24-100 is a newer model and they come from different manufacturers. There's a newer model the HR24-200.

 

[harshness]

The notable difference is the manufacturer. Beyond that, only time will tell.

Each manufacturer is given a set of specifications and sent on their merry way.

-100 Thomson
-200 Samsung
-300 Philips
-400 Hughes
-500 Humax
-600 LG
-700 Pace
-800 NEC

Thanks for the information! Somehow I would trust Thomson more than Humax, a manufacturer that I have never heard of before. :up

Thomson sold that operation to Audiovox and it is part of their Technicolor division.

All three are very good.

Thompson would be the 2nd one if I had my choice.

I would go

Pace
Thompson
Humax

Thats not to say theres anything wrong with Humax, I have never had one as of yet.

The HR20-700 was a Pace.

Your profile says that you have two HR24-500's which were made by Humax.

As far as I know, the only companies that make the HR24 are Humax, Thomson-Technicolor, and Samsung.

Opps, I stand corrected ..... I was for some reason thinking they were Pace, but your rigth, they ARE Humax

Ok, this is my first experience with Humax and it's been GREAT so far.

That said, I'd rather have PACE
