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'd be interested in knowing what temperature the HR-44's run at with an external power supply and no fan. Also, how does that compare to the temperature of HR-34's?

Hate to hijack the thread but has anyone heard which markets are online to receive the HR44? I've heard CA and the Dallas, TX area, but that's about it so far.
I'm personally in New Orleans, so I think my chances are low, just curious though.

I don't understand all of the technical aspects of my setup, but I was told this:
C41's connect to HR44 via coax and coax only. The HR44 then connects to my wireless router via wireless - there is no media center connection involved.
One can connect a C31 or C41 to a Wireless Cinema Connection Kit (WCCK) with coax and then use the WCCK as a bridge. The combo makes a wireless client for those places where it's not convenient to run cable.
You'll need a good wireless access point/router of course.
I will be helping a friend order a DirecTV Genie and internet this afternoon through Centurylink (dropping Comcast). Any way to request a HR44 since we are in Denver or is it luck of the draw?

I think a Genie is a Genie as far as DirecTV is concerned. That means you could get a 34 or a 44. Just like an HD DVR is an HD DVR, so you could get an HR21, HR22, HR24.
As to what may or may not be available in any particular market, I don't know. That changes pretty regularly.

So are you guys ordering/paying for the HR44 from an online vendor or calling DTV and asking in to help beta test?
