DBSTalk Exclusive First Look: H24-100 High Definition Receiver
We saw hints of it in the past few months. Today I am pleased to introduce the H24-100 High Definition receiver.
Two things you'll find in the H24-100 are speed and Built-in DECA.

I see comparisons in speed to HR2x units, but how would the speed be compared to my H21, which is pretty fast now?

Wow...very exciting stuff indeed...the DECA is a smart move by D*...the average customer needs this if MRV/Tv Apps is going to become big...very easy...I am hardwired throughout the house so it doesn't interest me much but the speed DEFINITELY does!

While I'd really like to ask this question about a HR24, I'm curious about it on the H24 as well.
The mention of the speed difference when changing channels is great and all, but I'm assuming there are speed upgrades to the GUIDE and PLAYLIST (when using MRV) as well, correct?

There is an undeniable noticeable difference in the ability to navigate through the menus. People will describe it as "faster" when they see it. There's just no other way to easily describe it.

Two other questions.... though the first may be difficult to answer.
1. The First Look document mentions the new remote. I recently stated in the TiVo thread that my HR2x DVRs have been reliable... a statement that is very true. However, I can't say that about my experiences with the DirecTV remotes. Does the new remote seem to work any better?
2. First Look pictures show the insides of the H24-100. Does anyone know what chipsets it uses?

Does this unit pass 1080p thru HMDI? I have Direct now but am going to switch to Dish tomorrow because my unit will not. Trying to run SAT, PS3, and Oppo blue ray thru prosser-swicther, then to TV.

No optical audio out and no S-video out. Is this consistent with other H2x receivers or a feature downgrade?

Are you serious? I can't tell. I mean it as an coax digital audio output and the coax to optical converter is like $5. In fact I don't know why anyone would prefer the optical over the coax, the signal is the same and the optical is more a PITA since you can't make your own cable.

HR24 Availability
After e-mailing Direct about the 24's availability, I received the following:
It will be available in selected markets (no markets mentioned) - Mid-March and nationally in May.
I'm also disappointed that there's no optical audio output and I currently use an "S" video output to feed my S-VHS recorder.

GroundHog45 is right - it is fast.
It's faster than the H21 as well - Tested the H24, have the H21....definitely faster - the guide, the menus, everything.
But there's so much more to this next generation unint - the new look and the built-in DECA compatibility are also great, just to start with.
