We have 2 DirecTV HD receivers, H24-700 and we do not have a swim system.
Is there a later, greater HD receiver or is this it?
Thanks.

Newer does not always equate to better. I do not think the H25 is any better than the H24. The H25 has no ethernet port, and the H24 has an ethernet port. Other than that, they are nearly identical. Both support HD, MRV, and 3D, and I have not heard of any problems with one verses the other or speed differences between the two.carl6 said:The H25 is the newest receiver. The HR24 is the newest DVR. There is also the Home Media Center model HR34.
The H24 can also be wall mounted.peds48 said:I also like the fact that the H25 can be wall mounted....

The OP mentions that he doesn't have SWiM and you reply with two receivers that require SWiM....carl6 said:The H25 is the newest receiver. The HR24 is the newest DVR. There is also the Home Media Center model HR34.
the Op can always upgrade to SWM if they were to get the those receivers....moghedien said:The OP mentions that he doesn't have SWiM and you reply with two receivers that require SWiM....
Another difference between the 24 and 25 is that dangling power pack. I hate those and is why I got a 24, HR24, and a HR34.fleckrj said:Newer does not always equate to better.

For most users, an ethernet port is meaningless, since both recevers support DECA. I prefer to connect my receivers to the internet using the ethernet port instead of DECA so I can diplex OTA. For me, therefore, the H24 is better.
