5.0 out of 5 stars Great receiver and easy install - an upgrade from my old HR34
Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2017
Verified Purchase
I purchased my HR44 to replace an existing HR34. I've been a DirecTV customer for several years and wanted to upgrade my DVR to the HR44 to provide access to the DVR from my mobile devices and because this device is much faster than the older HR34. I am in California and, in deference to the review that stated the HR44 cannot be used in California, mine works great. When I received the unit I unplugged my older receiver and plugged the new HR44 in. I called DirecTV and was able to activate the device very easily. There was no charge for the activation and no additional charges for my monthly service. I pay a connection fee to DirecTV for 'Advanced Receiver Service' and this did not change with the upgrade to the HR44. In that this receiver is $299 from DirecTV and I purchased it on Amazon (I purchased a refurbished unit) for less than half that price, this was an excellent value. It also came with a new remote but, as I use a Universal remote, I didn't really need it. The Universal remote worked with the new HR44 without any changes to the programming. One more thing: since my old HR34 is owned by DirecTV, they are sending me a box to return it to them at no cost. Overall, I'm very pleased with the new HR44 and the install process was easy.

1.0 out of 5 stars RIP OFF WARNING

This is NOT a 3TB hard disk as advertised. I thought it was a great deal...$300 for the latest DirecTV Genie box upgraded from the standard 1TB to 3TB. Turns out it was too good to be true.

After recording a few movies I noticed that the percentage of space left was similar to what I have experienced with my HR34 1TB box. So I confirmed by looking inside the unit. It has the ORIGINAL 1TB HARD DISK installed.

There is even a sticker placed on the outside of the box stating the 3TB, 600HD hours you're expecting to get. However the warranty seal on the bottom of the unit had not been broken so I was suspicious from the start. And I was right. This product is being totally misrepresented.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun Upgrading to DirecTv HR-44-500

5 Stars for Seller. Reider Electronic, Excellent Communications, Quick Shipment

4 Stars for DirecTv. Not sure why new factory sealed box had 4 month old firmware that needed updating to (0x09F6)so Remote could be configured to work in RF Mode. Then overnight received an even newer firmware update (0x0a5)at 2:30 AM. I miss the blue button which is omitted on new remotes.
I had to beg to get DirecTv to agree to send me hard copy of User Guide. Batteries supplied for remote were inferior carbon-zinc, instead of good alkaline batteries. CSR that activated unit helped me get my 3 TB External eSata drive from HR-34 to work. Secret is to turn off direcTv box, turn on eSATA hard drive, then start DirecTv. However Hard Drive was not formatted on start up. Directory showed everything still there, but no longer watchable. Spent 30 minutes deleting years of recordings luckily that goes faster on HR-44. The Series Manager was still there unchanged, so time was saved on back end.

Now waiting for Directories to update (48 hours?) so On Demand will work. Do I get a credit for unusable On Demand? DTV Manager incorrectly tells me new directories update in 24 hours.

I got the HR44 to replace the HR34 which I never could configure to access the internet. The HR44 has a built in Wi-Fi which worked satisfactory. I have a Netgear ac router and the Linksys WUMC710 wireless bridge (also ac) so I hooked it into the bridge and was able to get some of those ESOcast videos to play without choking. I have the SWM setup and had to school the DirecTV Tech to get installed. The HR44 has 5 tuners. With my other HR receiver (2 tuners), one regular receiver in the kitchen, and another regular receiver in the living room that gave me 9 tuners. When I explained this to the tech he finally understood why my setup was not working and he got a 16 multiswitch and everything then worked -- I had a 8 multiswitch before. Everything works as expected and I have had no issues with the HR44.

i never had a chance to use it because when directv tech went to install genie he was told by directv rep
there would be a charge of 15.00.
This contradicted rep who told me if i purchased said genie there would be no problem and directv support
would connect genie if so desired. He made no mention of a 15.00 monthly charge for each month I had service.
Only a fool would agree to such a plan so I returned genie to supplier.
Supplier refunded 50% of purchase saying all was not returned. (WHAT A SHAM)

Great receiver. Nice and small not like the old bulky receivers of the past. Extremely fast when changing channels. Also has a built in fan so I can put it inside my cabinet and close the door and the unit stays cool. I love the RF remote. Works great and I never have to see the unit. This is the unit Direct TV should be sending out to their customers instead of the old ones but they don't stock them.?? Well worth the money I spent for the upgrade.

When I contacted Directv to activate this box, they told me they could activate but it would extend my contract for 2 years or they could send me a refurb box for $22 with no contract extension. Returned.
