I called Directv about the HR34.

I spoke to someone at Directv about the new HR34 HD-DVR.


Looks like it won't be out until early next year.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Its out now in a few SMALL test markets, but wont be widely released until early next year.

 

[Mr Tony]

are you sure you didnt call to complain about a porn program you ordered and didnt like it?

Nope. Lesson learned, never going to give D* another cent for adult programming, unless they launch playboy HD.

I can't see spending $399 on it. Not when I can get another HD DVR for free.

So now I wonder if I should take advantage of my Free HD DVR upgrade, and just stack them together.

Does anyone know when the new Directivo will be out?

Directvtivo ?

That's been discussed and said to be out for years now, I would be surprised if we EVER see it.
The HR24 has gone beyond what the Tivo did, so the demnd isn't really there much anymore, except for the Tivo diehards.

The DirecTIVO will not do MRV. It's done, DirecTIVO is a dead end.

This is true. Can't believe they're wasting their time.

Looks about right.

I find it funny the use the faceplate from the HR20-23. The HR 24 has been out for 1 year +, think they could of used the new style faceplate, or went with a different faceplate entirely.

they basically used a crappy hr22 for this. tivo is pathetic. they can shove it.

Indeed. The new HD-UI runs circles around that old SD stretched Tivo UI.

Add MRV and upcoming HR34 5 tuner DVR with PIP and that just adds icing to the cake.

Tivo is going to have a tough time with this one. Can't believe they are even going to charge more for it. Wow.

 

[I WANT MORE]

HR 34 for me. Tivo/D* blew it. They delayed this thing way too long. I guess I should be thankfull, I would have bought the Tivo unit.

How do you know that it is going to be $400? Did DirecTV tell you that?

 

[coinmaster32]

I believe it was announced at the CES.

I like the review that is posted at the bottom of this page. Someone has one!!!

 

[coinmaster32]

Speaking of the TIVO, the installer was at a meeting today that discussed the new TIVO.

ONLY customers who have a phone line will be allowed the TIVO.

TiVo isn't doing much to help themselves. With the new HR2xs and the new gui, I don't think I will ever ygo back to TiVo unless their receiver paints my house

I really hope that they have reconsidered that price and it isn't that high. I want to upgrade so badly but not at that price...
