Even if you don't have DirecTV, you've probably heard of the
HR34 if you're into DVRs. That's because it's the only DVR from a provider that can record five HD shows at once and it also works in multiple rooms of the house thanks to
RVU. All that upside came with a big downside, though, the old and ugly DirecTV DVR user interface. We figured it was only a matter of time before
DirecTV's new HD user interface made it's way to the big daddy, and now
Solid Signal reports that it's everything you've been waiting for with only slight differences from the HR24. No word on exactly when this update will roll out to HR34 DVRs everywhere, but we suspect it can't be long now.

The HR34 is, I'm sure, a great offering from DirecTV. But your article makes it sound like it's the best (see "the only DVR from a provider that can record five HD shows at once..."). As a DISH customer, and employee, with their new whole home HD DVR system (the Hopper), I know that the Hopper can record up to 6 shows during primetime. And if you compare the guides - the "new" guide for the HR34 looks outdated when placed next to the guide for the Hopper (one of the first thing I notice is the lack of channel logos). I guess it comes down to personal taste, but I would much prefer my Hopper.
