We’ve just launched the DIRECTV HR34 (Genie) HD DVR with a whopping 3TB drive inside. With this capacity, you can record up to 720 hours in HD. Put another way, you can record nonstop for up to 30 days in HD and never run out of space. Or, if you want to take advantage of the Genie’s five tuners, you can record five channels, nonstop for up to six straight days.
If you already have a Genie and need, er, want, more space, you can ship the DIRECTV HR34 to us and we can install a 3TB upgrade drive for you. If you’d like, we can also copy all of your existing programming onto a new 3TB drive, giving you a lot more free space without losing what you’ve already recorded. (I know this previous sentence will generate questions, so I’ll answer at least one now: It is currently impossible to move recordings from one DVR to another; the copy will only work if you have a Genie and we are copying from its existing drive to a larger one.)
The 3TB Genie and 3TB upgrade drives are in stock and shipping now.
