Seeking bedroom advice

You'll need a C61K on each 4K TV. But since you have an HR54 you can only watch 4K on one of those at a time.

 

If someone else is watching 4K on the other C61K nothing. Or an error page. To watch 4K on two C61K's at the same time you would need the HS17 instead of the HR54 but you wouldn't be able to keep any other DVR's, ie...HR44, HR54, or HR-24.

 

The HS17 has a 2TB HD

 

Here is an option HDHomeRun - Watch TV anywhere in your home

 

I simply came to comment on a well-named thread. Carry on!

 

This is considerably more complicated as it requires its own DVR that cannot be accessed from a DIRECTV receiver and most TVs without additional streaming devices with their distinct user interfaces.

 

DirecTV and ATT’s various other TV methods don’t support locals very well now. Mostly all those subchannels are missing.

 

There are unsubstantiated rumors flying that TiVo may be walking away from OTA in the long term as well to focus on cable STBs.

 

But then DirecTV has always missed a bunch of interesting local OTA subchannels, so its relatively useless even with all the hacks. I went to a couple inexpensive home runs (4 receivers) and a computer media server/DVR. Yeah its like any aux streaming service you want to connect to your TV, Netflix for example. Its not that big a deal if you are streaming content not available on DirecTV anyway. OTA streaming itself was actually easier for me to set up than a bunch of DirecTV components, probably because I had a spare Widose 7 PC and a 2TB drive laying around. Not for everyone for sure.

With a media center, you can add complexity, like setting the DVR to delete commercials/Ads.

 

My advice is, the bedroom is not for watching TV.

 

With your post, and the title of the thread.....I’m surprised this conversation hasn’t gone south by now.
