After waiting years for someone to deliver the first
RVU-capable multiroom DVR setup, info leaked to
SatelliteGuys indicates we only have to hold out one more week for DirecTV's
HR34 DVR. While DirecTV has yet to make an official announcement, retailer info states that it will be available starting Thursday for just $99 after rebate ($399 rack rate), bringing five tuners, 1TB of storage,
whole home DVR service in up to four active rooms, and more. Of course, we'll need the RVU-compatible HDTVs mentioned (
Samsung D6000, D6400, and D6420 series)
released before we can
ditch the extra satellite TV boxes for good, but this is the first step. Hit the source link for more details including a full spec sheet.

Thanks for sharing, Tom! I'm still a little shocked on the price you have listed here for the HR34. And now the HR34 has to compete with DISH's Hopper whole home HD DVR system, which DISH is giving away free when you sign up for service. And as both a DISH customer and employee, I can tell you the Hopper more than competes. For instance, the Hopper has a 2TB hard drive that can hold over 250 hours in HD. And with a Sling Adapter you can watch all your live TV and DVR recordings from wherever you want. Now after seeing how much more the Hopper can do... I just don't understand why DirecTV charges so much for the HR34.
