Believe it or not it was about 14 years ago that DIRECTV released its last standalone DVR. I was working for another blog at the time and I reviewed the product prior to launch. When it launched, the DIRECTV HR24 was a speed demon, small and sleek. It revolutionized the way DIRECTV products looked and felt for a decade.
Shortly after the launch of the HR24, DIRECTV pivoted all its efforts to launching its Genie DVR products. Genie is a great product for homes — it’s more energy efficient and gives every room in the house the same functions. It’s also a great product for DIRECTV, because the small Genie clients are inexpensive to make and last seemingly forever.
Still, not everyone wants or needs a Genie system. With the Genie system you’re limited to 7 rooms of DIRECTV or 7 recording tuners. That may not be enough for some folks. If you’re in an RV, on a boat, or in a private office, you can’t use a Genie system. In some cases the satellite dish won’t support it and in other cases DIRECTV just won’t let you. (Don’t shoot the messenger.)
That’s meant that over the years there’s been a healthy demand for DIRECTV HR24 DVRs, as DIRECTV themselves have not designed anything newer. Unfortunately, most DIRECTV dealers do not stock these items and don’t know how to even activate them within DIRECTV’s system.
Here’s where you can get your HR24 DVR
The easiest thing to do is shop at SolidSignal.com. You’ll find our HR24 in stock ready to be sent out. When you order from us, we’ll contact you to make sure that you can add it to your DIRECTV account even before we ship. That will make things a lot easier, because we can identify any issues before they pop up.
It’s important to mention that not every DIRECTV customer will be able to get an HR24 DVR. If you have a Genie 2 at home, you can’t add any other receivers to your account. If you are in a business with TVs in a public area, you can’t do it either. There are other limitations, and our team will go through and make sure you’re completely OK before we ship anything.
When you get your HR24, you can call us and we’ll make sure it’s activated the right way. We are experts in working within DIRECTV’s systems and we’ll make sure everything is done right.
