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 to see some of the RVU-compatible HDTVs mentioned (
Samsung 6000, 6400, and 6420 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 PDF.

$99 for new customers, $399 for existing? And to think, being a DISH employee, I was worried that DirecTV would finally have a better receiver than us considering those beefy specs. But, with the new Hopper whole home HD DVR system that DISH just released I'm not worried at all. The Hopper is the fastest, most powerful and technically advanced system available. And with the built-in 2TB hard drive you can record over 250 hours in HD! Not only that, but apparently you get a Hopper free when you sign up for DISH. That HR34 doesn't sound so "scary" anymore.
