The installer just called to let me know that the HR44 release has been delayed yet again. My install was supposed to be last Tuesday, but was postponed until today, when it was thought that the box would be available this week. Now, they're saying that it could be another month before the HR44 is released. Will get more info later today. Since I'm not in any rush, I'm going to wait.
I live in Chandler, AZ (south suburb of Phoenix) and have a "genie" install scheduled for Monday 3/25. Any chance that will be a HR44?? If not can I cancel and request one specifically??
We got ours in Raleigh yesterday, installed my first HR44/C41's today.
That remote, dawg gone, all the important buttons are missing.
Format(I finnally figgered that out), TV input(used the TV remote), had to use the box to program the TV to the remote(dont like that), its gonna be a slow learning curve.

Thank you for reminding me but I'm pretty sure DirecTv would be disappointed if the customer didn't get an RC71. The boxes pretty much begg to be setup in DirecTv's new RF standard. Since the customer was in the process of moving I only had a 70" Sharp to work with. I used a splitter and multipule HDMI inputs to connect everything at the same time. I set the HR44 to RF and started on the first C41 thinking I was good to go with a different remote. OOPS! I can bear witness to the fact that an HR44 does both RF/IR at the same time. So do the clients. Sigh.

Something else that was interesting. The HR44 was on HDMI2, the C41's on 3 and 4. The TV renamed HDMI 2 to something I don't remember, 3 and 4 were renamed to C41-700. I havn't ever seen that before.

This might really suck there are a lot of folks that dont have the remotes for their TV's. The TV's dont have an input button on the front panel. I have to program the remote just to get a picture. I guess it is what it is.

You can still go list & play, but you now have to exit to stop and then go back to the list and find the recording for deleting.
List-play-stop had you right back to the recording ready for deleting.
