That's another huge problem. No tailgating or taking the C31 to the camp. I have a second dish setup at the camp and it sure is nice to just bring a little H25 up there and plug it in. No having to fuss with anything and it travels really well since it is so small. I could see how the C31 is for some people, but I'm sure if you explained the pro's and con's to many folks they would prefer the H25 setup. But it's all about cost and DirecTV want to push the cheaper box, even though they charge you the same monthly charges for the cheaper box. They should really only charge you half price for the C31.

You can get two of them on the account but you have to buy it up front. Doable if you have the $$$$$. Think that's the same with the 3 hopper thing.
I have the Genie(HR34) and 3 C31 clients that I have been beta testing for a couple of months and I love the system. Pause, rewind, record and then change the channel all from the C31. The name "Genie" is used now instead of HR34 simply for marketing purposes....just like "Tha Hoppa". It sticks better with people than a bunch of numbers. As far as not having a receiver in each room...the c31 is RF capable and so small that the c31box can mount to the wall or to the back of the TV so that you can't see it. Lots of negative nellys on here.

from the title of the thread is misleading
no it doesn't. I wished I had the NFL Sunday ticket for free yet it still shows "purchase for 44.99 a month" or something like that

Got it for 49.99 plus $50 install. Removing my H21 and adding it to my current HR24 and H24. Had to talk to retention but she pretty much knew the drill. Install is tomorrow.
you have to be recording the program. Basically if you tune to a program you are recording press the rewind button once and it starts the beginning of the show (or 90 minutes back if its a long program)
Well then, for people like you, the option to replace with a much larger drive is available. Problem solved.
For most, it is far more than ample.

Till the uniot goes bad and you lose a TB worth of programing .....
Don't lose a TB of programming !
no. You can hook a reciever to any TV. The HR34 (aka Genie) can be stand alone too. I have just a HR34 on the account
Unless you run an eSata RAID box off of the eSata port so you have a back up. To be honest I have never had a hard drive fail in a Directv DVR in the 12 years I have been with them. I have had the electronics in a Directv boxes fail several time though. Truthfully, I run sort of a belt and suspenders system. I have a DVD burner/VCR combo unit that I archive anything I deem too important to lose.
That's the smart way to do it. Whether a hard drive or something else fails, the recordings are useless.
Just got a HR34 installed. Thing is awesome so far. Thought this was supposed to be slow or on par with my HR24 but even while downloading guide data the thing is flying.
