OK so I am going to be updating to the HR34 and was originally thinking of also getting a second HD DVR for the bedroom but DirecTv is telling me that if I have the HR34 in the living room and a "standard" HD box in the bed room I will be able to pause live TV, set recordings and all of that good stuff from the "standard" HD box in the bedroom. So it essentially turns the "standard" HD box into a second HD DVR...Can anyone confirm this? I am hoping to place the order tonight... Any help would be a GREAT help.
New Setup Question (HR34 Based)

The dvr features available on the HD receiver would only be available while watching recordings from the HR34. the HD receiver itself has no live tv dvr functions.
So I had it all set up and they are hitting me with $99 for the HR34 which is fair... BUT they are also attempting to get another $50 to install it. Any suggestions on getting that removed? Anyone have any luck getting the $50 removed? I am OK with another 2 year commitment but the $50 install is a bit out of line in my mind. Any help / input would be great.
At this point I am begging to differ... It was installed at my new house on Friday, we moved Sat / Sun so I did not get ANY time with it due to moving all the crap in. With that said over the last 3 days I have reset the damn thing 4 times, guide freezes, seems SLOWER than my old HR21 that it replaced and I am regretting every second of the two year contract with this POS box that I have left. Then come to find out DirecTv charges for the RVU function (selling point for me because I have a new Samsung TV that supports RVU and I was told that there is NOT a charge) so this is a COMPLETE disaster on my end. I know that DirecTv would never be so kind as to have a "Trial Period" that I would be able to return this POS box, keep my old setup and NOT have a miserable 2 year contract...
Define, normal? Its not fast to begin with , that we know.
But I only had to reboot mine once, and that was because of a software update. Otherwise I have no complaints about its operation.
