DBSTalk goes hands-on with DirecTV's new 24 series receivers

Eagerly awaiting DirecTV's new multiroom tandem of set-top boxes? A group of DBSTalk posters got an early preview of the H24, and now have also posted their impressions of the HR24 DVR unit. Somewhat cheesy YouTube trailers aside, there's a lot of info here if you're considering a new DVR setup. Just like the recent NFL combine, we know that speed kills -- and has been killing DirecTV recently -- but they reveal the HR24 is much improved in that area. There's also detailed descriptions of the new scheme for programming the remote to control other devices, and the units overall slimmer and quieter stature, all awaiting just beyond the read link.
