Uuuuh, NO! Last I checked, the 722 didn't do anything remotely similar to MRV in HD which is first necessary before one can accommodate my number one wish feature:
Complete system load sharing such that all turners are shared between DVRs/receivers and all hard drives are shared between all DVRs/receivers such that from an operator's standpoint, it is just one very capable DVR. That would be damned cool. Need a couple more tuners? Just add another box and the system figures it all out! I know that's a lot to ask for though and don't expect it.
Now for the second wish, this IS something I miss from my days with my 722 and was surprised I couldn't do this on the HR24 because it would be so simple for them to allow this... CUSTOM FOLDERS!!!
I can't leave out the third cause it's something I haven't mentioned before because I didn't notice it at first. In the guide, there's no apparent episode number system like I used to have on Dish. If you record an entire season before watching the first episode, it helps to point out when you've missed an episode due to some sort of recording conflict or system error. I see no way to do that with DirecTV without knowing the original air dates of each episode (which I don't of course).
Actually Jimbo, you misread what Mr Zulu wrote.. Mr. Z said he misses the episode number system ... ie its not there ... and not many people can remember original air dates beyond a few days from "today".I can't leave out the third cause it's something I haven't mentioned before because I didn't notice it at first.

And I'd agree with that too.. not having episode numbers is a bear when it comes to knowing show sequence.

If you press info on the recording, it does show the episode original air date along with the date that you recorded it. It isnt numbered 1,2,3,ect, but the original air date of the episode is there, so you can keep up with the sequence.
What I mean is, it will tell you if an episode aired originally on july 7 2008 (if you are watching an older series). Then then on the next it will say that it originally aired on July, 14 2008. So you know that is the next one in the series.
IF your referring to the Current year, you can get that info off the programs website, as for ones past the current year, good luck with that, not sure why if it's not the current year you would need it.
For ex. I watch NCIS when nothing else is on, it's been on for many years, I'll usually LOOK to see what year it was, but order of sequence is irrelevant.

I'd love to be able to pick which DVR records things while working on an actual DVR. My one HD receiver box lets me, but I often find that I want to record something on the other DVR for space reasons and have to then go re-find that program on the other box.
TV's dont build it in anymore because all cable and satellite boxes (except for DIRECTV's) have the feature built in.I don't think you will have that .... the industry doesn't put PIP on many TV's anymore, so if the industry doesn't do it, I doubt that D* would.
Add WiFi so you do not have to run an Ethernet cable for networking. This will free up an Ethernet port on the router.
You still need to plug either the DECA or your receiver into an Ethernet port in order to connect to the internetYou don't need an ethernet cable at each receiver if you have MRV. Just one that connects to the router. If you're running out of ports, adding a network switch doesn't cost that much money.
I would also like to see them enable the ability to control by IR and UHF at the same time...
i would like to see a clock built in so i can walk into a room and look at the front of the box and see the time..
Id also like to see the guide color coded like tv shows , sports , and movies... like comcast guide
