I see the C31 is listed again at SS for $99. That's a bit more than I'd have expected so I guess I'll just keep what I have.

And don't forget its only a lease price too;

You have to return the unit if you leave DIRECTV.

Same lease-pricing model as used for an HD STB receiver (non-DVR) I think.

SS has just a few of the C31's at this time..

No Accessories yet (WallMount Bracket or SD Composite 10 pin Dongle)

Not sure about the wall mount but the H25 cable/dongle works for the C31. I'd guess the wall mount would as well.

Way too expensive. At max, for $100 more (likely a lot less), you can have a full blown HD DVR with its own tuners.

The wall mount for the H25 is too big for the C31.

But is it the size of a paperback book and dead silent?

Size and quietness doesn't change that the price is, in my opinion, outrageous.

 

[Stuart Sweet]

Then... don't get one.

 

[Barry in Conyers]

So much for the low price predictions.

 

[lzhj9k]

Yes the wall mount bracket for the C31 is smaller than the mount for the H25 and the C31 mount does not have the place to mount the external RF Antenna as it has built in RF

Pardon me for having an opinion that it is too expensive. I won't get one at that price. Unlike some here, I actually have to pay for the equipment that is in my house and $100 is way too pricey for a box with no built in tuners or storage that probably cost $25 or less to produce.

Nobody criticized you for having an opinion.

The price is too expensive for your needs. For other people having a small, silent client, that can be easily hidden behind a wall mounted TV, it might be worth double the price.

I believe the C31 has RF built in so it doesn't need the external RF antenna, therefore it doesn't need a spot for it on the wall mount.

When you factor in the savings on electricity & no noise, then it may look more attractive in regard to the initial outlay!

Make your belief a fact.
I'm using RF without any additional antenna.

I wanted to, but then I figured something goofy would happen like DirecTV releasing a C31-500 from a different manufacturer that doesn't have RF built in and someone would call me a liar :lol:

They still will. !rolling

Probably less than $10.

First customers will pay double price ... I see ...
