DirecTV’s five tuner, RVU-ready HR34 DVR revealed
Author: Markus Smith
We’ve been waiting for more information on DirecTV’s next generation multiroom DVR hub, and here it is, courtesy of the folks at DBSTalk. They’ve gotten an early look at the HR34 and all of its five-tuner RVU blasting capabilities and report it is just the HR24-on-steroids you’d thought it would be, with a 1TB hard drive and support for 100 Series Listings and 3 remote sessions, either RVU or whole-home DVR, at once. Of course, if we’re really going to eliminate the cable / satellite box anytime soon then hardware is going to have to hit the streets, both form DirecTV and third parties like Samsung. Don’t bother calling DirecTV to get one yet as they’re in extremely limited release, but we’ll let you know once they’re widely available. In the meantime, hit the source link for a quick preview, and if you’re looking for more info on the placeshifting Nomad box then you’re in luck, since its product page is (finally) live on DirecTV’s site.

The HR34 from DirecTV looks pretty cool, but I still think the Hopper and Joey from DISH will be better. The thing I am excited for most is the PrimeTime Anytime feature. It records all four major networks automatically, so you don’t have to worry about missing your favorite shows. With it enabled, you can be recording up to 6 shows at once! Since it has its own partition in the DVR, it never takes away from the 250 hours of HD recording. Here at DISH, I’ve been playing with one, and it is an awesome receiver. I can’t wait to get one for myself! DirecTV’s receiver may have a few cool things about it, but it falls short when compared to the Hopper and Joey !
