Cost... directv is going to charge 200bones for an upgrade to add a combo... they will push the client either for 50 or possibly freeWhat an interesting conversation.
I will add to it .... why would anyone with a Genie not add , if your adding, a HR 24 ?
your already paying forbthe DVR features with your bill, unless Size IS an issue.
I will ALWAYS side with adding tuners vs a client or other recvr that tries to mimic a recvr.
now that would add a commitment to the situation, but adding ANY recvr would do that anyways, so it all depends on what the sub is interested in.
