Thanks for putting the chart together Dodger. Was wondering if the Hopper should also be listed under secondary devices?
Thanks for catching that. I had it as yes, but something must have gotten mixed up when I added the extra rows.
Just curious, do you guys actually think you would need that much space? I have a 350GB hard drive in my HR20 and it never gets more than 40% full. Currently only 10% full.

That would be an issue for me as my sound system only has optical audio input for digital or surround. The other inputs are composite analog stereo only.Your not a power user...another thing, HR34 no optical output, just coax...
Since I have no desire to to MRV, I wont be needing an HR34 anyway. An HR24 would be nice however.
Your not a power user...
This works

You might be surprised, I had MRV for awhile with Replay, haven't had in several years... I activated whole home yesterday and am loving it.That would be an issue for me as my sound system only has optical audio input for digital or surround. The other inputs are composite analog stereo only.

The primetime "tuner" would be the draw to the Hopper/Joey combo for me as I use alot of network timers especially on Mondays with the Voice now in my viewing habits... but I still camp and the loss of ViP use kills that idea for now...
Trust me, I would never use it. It is just my wife and I. We went down from 4 TVs to 2 TVs. The second TV in our bedroom gets used for about 1/2 hour each night only and that that is just as background when we are going to bed to help me relax and fall asleep. I will occasionally watch TV on my computer in my office through my Sling box as I am working on the computer (MRV is not needed in that case). Since we seldom to never watch TV outside of our main room, MRV serves no purpose for our needs.
I do agree that that is a very enticing feature for some and when I first heard of it I thought this was a huge Home Run for Dish. With that said, even though this feature is a hug plus for Dish as a whole, it is something I would never use either. We watch only a small fraction of programs on the big 4 and never run into recording conflicts with just 2 tuners on our HR20.
The last thing I need to do is record and watch more programming.
