No....if you can get an HR44 there is no reason to get an HR34

or question the other way...should you get the HR34 or wait for the HR44?

Unless you have an overriding need to get a genie now, I would wait. The HR44 is smaller, faster, runs cooler, nicer in every way....

Any clue when they might release nationally?

Word on the street is June, however I have nothing to back that up at the moment, so take that with a grain of salt.

thanks, that's my thought. I want to get rid of Dish but I can wait.....hopefully deal is good at that time.
 
For those that now have the HR44 that previously had a HR34, is there any difference in picture quality?

It is exactly the same.
 
?I'm a directv installer and we are currently installing hr44 and c41w wireless clients in Cleveland
 
Are you claiming the c41 has the wireless enabled?
 
Ok who has a Cleveland address I can borrow ?

:-D
 
I got a whole house dvr system just installed yesterday. unfortunately, they installed a HR34 rather than the faster HR44. i just learned about the newer hr44 when i started researching the sluggish issues i'm having with my hr34.

you guys have any ideas of how i can get DTV to switch out my reciever for a hr44?

They won't switch them. But you should not have sluggish issues with the HR34, after the first three or four days when the DVR finishes loading all the extra data it needs. I have an HR34 and it's fine...
 
I am considering leaving D* over the HR34. It's just awful. Sunday Ticket is keeping me from leaving now, but if it's ever not exclusive to D*....

I, too, have tried to get them to switch it, but they claim it's the same speed. It's far from the same speed. The HR44 is a legitimate receiver. The HR34 rivals clunky, slow, buggy cable equipment.
 

It's not the same speed as the HR44, but it is about the same as my HR24 which prior to the Genie was the fastest DVR. Certainly faster than the others.
 
All you'd have to do is go get a 44 from a dealer. Call DirecTV and tell them that the 34 won't power on and that you already have a replacement Genie.
 
Will the C31 client work with a HR44? Do I have to use that awful remote that comes with the 44?
 
The C31 will work just fine. I'm sure you can use the older remotes if you wish.
