Familiar DirecTV user interface and design, beats UVerse and Comcast in my opinion

We recently upgraded to the new 5 tuner DirecTV HR34 HD 1080p DVR receiver. It’s definitely an improvement from our old UVerse DVR receiver, which I felt was slow and clumsy. Let’s go over some of the key features in this review and why I say you’ll consider it a step up.

Cost
We obtained our receiver via a contract with DirecTV. I was shopping at Fry’s in Northern California and signed up at the DirecTV booth in the television section. The agent who helped me was knowledgeable, she had been with DirecTV for several years and could answer all my questions. Supposedly DirecTV just started offering this receiver in our area, so I thought it would be another good review opportunity. I signed a 2 year contract because we needed installation and I know it’s included for free when you sign a contract. Although I had to pay about $120 up front for the newer HR34 receiver, we ended up getting an all inclusive deal for $47 a month for the first year. That’s the middle of the road channel package, HDTV service, the HR34 (which is shared over a coaxial network) and 2 HD receivers. Not bad considering UVerse was charging us over $100 per month and not delivering on a good user experience. The second year does go up to about $60 per month which is still reasonable, then after 2 years we can elect to cancel. After having service for about a month now (which includes a couple months of free HBO, Showtime, etc) we’re pleased with the service, selection, and receivers. I listed the old HR24 receivers below that are available on Amazon, at these prices I’m not sure why you wouldn’t go for the new HR34-700 instead. The more expensive one is the receiver & DVR, the cheaper one is just a receiver only.
The Goods:
Of course one of the biggest differentiators about the HR34 is the fact it has 5 HD tuners, which virtually eliminates DVR tuner anxiety. Our last UVerse receiver could only record 2 HD shows at once, which caused issues on Sunday nights. I had to watch football in standard definition a few times, which was unacceptable. 1 Terabyte of storage means no storage anxiety either, that’s good for 230+ hours of MPEG4 video (channel bandwidth varies). Among other nice features include a built in temperature monitor, and a learning remote which is intelligent for once.
No optical audio out? There’s a digital coaxial audio out at least, but what if your receiver doesn’t support that?

Very stable
We are coming up on a year with the HR 34 and it is more stable now than when we first purchased it. DirecTV is good about sending updates and just the other day I noticed a new user interface feature. Over the last few months, the receiver had frozen twice and needed to be rebooted (the reboot button is conveniently placed under the front right side access panel). It takes a while to reboot and sometimes needs to rebuild the index which can take 15 minutes or more. Reboot the receiver once a month and I predict you’ll probably never have an issue with the unit. Next page >>

Every new DIRECTV HDTV receiver is being shipped with a little device installed on the satellite inputs at the rear of the receiver. These little devices are called B-band converters. A B-band converter is required if you wish to receive any Ka band programming from the Ka satellite located at 102.7 degrees, aka 103. To understand the B-band converter, you need to understand how satellite signals are distributed from the dish/LNB to your satellite receivers.
As more satellite channel capacity has been developed over the the last decade through the addition of additional satellites and dishes to receive multiple satellite simultaneously. Both Dish Network and DIRECTV have developed varies means to transfer those signals to the users Integrated Receiver Decoder (IRD). Also known as the satellite receiver box on top of the TV.
Dish Network has developed a whole variety of switches and LNB technologies to address their needs. More on Dish Network Technology.
DIRECTV has created their own means to switch between satellites using a single dish or a series of dishes and a switch box, commonly called a Multi-Switch.
DIRECTV uses three main satellites for their core programming and several additional satellites for delivery of local channels. The primary satellites are 101, 110 and 119. DIRECTV only has a few channels on 119 and 110. The LNB's on the dish combined these signals to form a single group of channels. The channels received by 101 and the 110/119 combo are converted to an intermediate frequency (IF) for transfer to the IRD for signal decoding. By converting the signals to a lower frequency range, a smaller cable can be used. Without using an IF, the cable from your dish to our receiver would be 1/2' in diameter and would have to be very short.

The IF for DIRECTV 101 and 110/119 LNB's is 950-1450 MHZ. Since both 101 and 110/119 use the same IF, the receiver must tell the LNB, or switch, which group of channels it needs, either 101 or 110/119. The IRD does this by sending a 22 KHz tone down the coax. When the LNB or Switch senses the 22KHz tone, it switches the IF to the 110/119 channel group.
DIRECTV recently started using Ka band satellites. These new satellites will allow DIRECTV to dramatically increase the number of HDTV local channels to local markets. While the traditional Ku-band 101,110, and 119 satellites broadcast a 500 MHZ wide signal. The Ka-band satellites can transmit a full 1000 MHZ wide signal spread over two bands. Ka-High (19.7 - 20.2 GHz )and Ka-Low (18.3 - 18.8). The IF for these two bands is 1650 - 2150 MHz for the Ka-High and 250 MHz - 750MHz for the Ka-Low. Respectfully called the A-band and the B-band.
Newer DIRECTV IRD's are capable of receiving and process IF signals in the A-band. To receive and process B-band signals, a converter is required to up convert the B-band signals to the A-band, thereby replacing he A-band signals with those of the B-band. The IRD switches the B-band converter using the same 22 KHz signal used to switch from 101 to 110/119. When the 22KHz tone is present, the receiver can process the B-band signals, now upconverted to A-band, by process them in the A-band (1650-2150 MHz) IF. When the 22 KHz tone is turned off, the converter allows the A-band to pass through to the receiver.
The table below shows which satellite/channel group is selected with the 22KHz tone.
