Solid Signal DIRECTV HR24 Question

[toolman90]

I am thinking about getting an Directv HR24 through Solid Signal to avoid having to pay a $99.00 install fee with DIRECTV to update an HD receiver to an HD DVR. I wanted to know if it is compatible with SWM and does it work with Multi room viewing where you can watch DVR on any TV in the house. I also have the protection plan on my account will it void the protection plan and will the leased receiver that I buy from solid signal, be covered under the protection plan that I have from DIRECTV. I just want to make sure before I purchase the HD DVR.

Yes, the HR24 is compatible with MRV and SWM. It will be covered under the protection plan.

Echo what solidsignal said. You will be fine.

I believe activating the receiver will renew a 2 year contract though. I could be wrong but I believe so.

That is correct.

I went ahead and ordered the box at noon. It is suppose to arrive tomorrow. I am awhere about the 2 Year commitment reseting on the account when activating the reciever. I just hope it is not defective like the last HD receivers I got when they did the original install.
