After waiting years for someone to deliver the first
RVU-capable multiroom DVR setup, info leaked to
SatelliteGuys indicates we only have to hold out one more week for DirecTV's
HR34 DVR. While DirecTV has yet to make an official announcement, retailer info states that it will be available starting Thursday for just $99 after rebate ($399 rack rate), bringing five tuners, 1TB of storage,
whole home DVR service in up to four active rooms, and more. Of course, we'll need the RVU-compatible HDTVs mentioned (
Samsung D6000, D6400, and D6420 series)
released before we can
ditch the extra satellite TV boxes for good, but this is the first step. Hit the source link for more details including a full spec sheet.

That's pretty cool. I'm sure a lot of DirecTV customers are pretty excited that this DVR has made its way out to the public. It did seem like a game changer at first, until I heard the news of the new Hopper DVR and Joey system from DISH. It does pretty much everything that the HR34 can do, but also has a few added features that really has me intrigued to get one. The Hopper is also a whole-home solution, but has a 2 terabyte hard drive, PrimeTime Anytime, Blockbuster Movie Pass coverage and a remote control locator. I also saw just a tiny glimpse the other day with a few co-workers of mine at DISH of what the menus and UI will look like and definitely think it's a much sleeker and “prettier” design than the HR34. All that right there are just a few reasons why I'll be sticking to DISH and waiting for the arrival of the Hopper! I really can’t wait. :)
