We've been waiting for more information on
DirecTV's next generation multiroom DVR hub, and here it is, courtesy of the folks at
DBSTalk. They've gotten an early look at the HR34 and all of its five-tuner
RVU blasting capabilities and report it is just the HR24-on-steroids you'd thought it would be, with a 1TB hard drive and support for 100 Series Listings and 3 remote sessions, either RVU or
whole-home DVR, at once. Of course,
if we're really going to eliminate the cable / satellite box anytime soon then hardware is going to have to hit the streets, both form DirecTV and third parties like Samsung. Don't bother calling DirecTV to get one yet as they're in extremely limited release, but we'll let you know once they're widely available. In the meantime, hit the source link for a quick preview, and if you're looking for more info on the placeshifting
Nomad box then you're in luck, since its product page is (finally) live on DirecTV's site.

Place shifting insinuates that the Nomad does streaming, which is does not. The Nomda is a side loading device, that transcodes information into a temporary file to watch on iPhones, iPads, and computers, that ultimately deletes the file in 30 days. Place shifting is a term for streaming content from one location to another, streaming does not include transcoding. Streaming is taking all your live subscription channels that you pay for every month, and streaming then to a mobile device anywhere in the world, it is being able to access your recording, all of them, not just 20 hours, from anywhere in the world. Nomadic people didn't run home for supplies every 30 days, you shouldn't have to do that to your recordings either. Even if I didn't work at DISH I would still make the same decision, there is no way the Nomad can compete with the sling adapter when it costs more and does less.
