You don't really need the CCK, because the HR34 will connect directly to ethernet, but you DO need a complete SWM system (single Wire Multiswitch) because the HR34 will only work on an SWM system. The DirecTv install will include all the necessary hardware.
HR34 and Single Box Setup
The tuner on my HR20-700 seems to be getting skittish. D* offered to send me a HR34 - however I don't need it for multi-room as I only have one other TV and hardly use it. I would like the other features. The question:
1) I had to order the $100 cinema connection kit - I have a router that I've turned into an access point (DD-WRT) - will the installer freak or will he let me use that instead of the CCK (and get a refund on the CCK)? Not sure why this was required for the order to be placed.
2) I won't have to pay for whole home service if I just use this for my main TV, right?
3) Will they have to change my dish/multiplex just for this one TV?
4) Should I avoid all of this and just let them replace my HR20? They are just charging for the install $50 and the CCK ($100).
