Well that is a different situation than having the h25, which is what I and the Op were talking about. Having another hr tied into the system certainly has advantages of redundancy and added tuners, but as far as dvr functionality, the client gives you what another hr does, except what I mentioned above.

biggest gripe is can't re-wind live tv. I understand that it's not really a dvr. But, somewhere I had the idea it could rewind whatever we were watching live. Oh well.
Thanks for all the replies. I signed up today at Costco and my install is Thursday between 1 and 6. I decided to get a HR34 and a HR24. The $200 rebate from Costco plus the introductory offer made it painless.
$2 on Ultimate
$2 on HBO
$2 RSN fee
$2 on Protection plan
$5 on Advanced Receiver fee
+6% sales tax = .78
$13.78
My $2 credit for Ultimate and $2 credit for Advanced Receiver fee, ran out May 14 since that's when my price guarantee ended.
Right now I get a Starz Showtime 2 for 1 that's it!
Yep agree! If my HR34 craps out all 3 of my bedrooms will still be working just fine, and I still can record to my HR23 until the new Genie arrives!
Note with the AM21: Without getting a client, you will only have direct access to it from the one unit it is installed on. Example, if you install it on the HR34, you will not be able to see the OTA info on the HR24. Of course, if there is something you wanna watch on an OTA channel, hit record and you can watch it virtually live (10 second or so delay) on the other receiver. The client shows everything that the genie does.
Yes. It acts exactly as a dvr would at that tv.

One additional question. Other than an internet connection to the HR34, are there any other devices require to receive programming on an iPad?
Genie Go will let you stream over home wifi any channel and runs $99. Rumor is it will expand to out-of-home streaming later this year.
The iPad app alone will let streaming of select channels, but it comes from Directv servers instead of your receiver, and is not dependent on an internet connection to your receiver.
I got my install today and got the HR44. I just learned from the installer that this is the 2nd unit he has installed. It is a small unit. I was at my parents home and they had Dish for many yrs like myself. Their receiver blew out and Dish told me they were doing us a favor shipping another and not charging shipping costs. LOL. I look at my parents channel lineup. They are pauing according to them (90.00) for nothing. They get zip. No HBO, Showtime etc. They don't evn get channels like CNN and such for 90.00. That is outrageous. They are going to direct also. The Costco deal makes it even sweeter.
I am glad that you are happy with your hr-44, I am as well.
However.... CNN is available with dish in America's top 120. I have no idea how your parents could spend $90+ and not get that channel.

Be sure to give them ur account # and u can get an additional $10 off a month for 10 months for referring them.
Maybe, seeing he has already activated, they tend to not want to give the Referal deals, also, you have to call the particular referal number.
