What is RVU?RVU is a standard that is being set by several companies to progress how electronics communicate with each other for TV, internet, and more.
The HR34 acts as the server and RVU Enabled devices like TVs, blue-ray players, tablets, and computers, act as a client.This makes it possible to bring content to multiple devices in the house, without the use of a receiver at each outlet.
TV’s without RVU or RVU Enabled components will require a set top box.This is similar to when TV’s were built with the Cable Ready function, where they would not require a cable box to get programming.However RVU standard allows for a much richer experience, with programming guides, picture-in-picture, access to on-demand, internet, and shared media.

Beta Tester of HR-34 DBStalkSWEET - Ohio, Ohio - 12/3/2011 Super fast!View same show at 3 different TVs - WOW!
Five Tuners is Great but not perfect Sergey - San Francisco, San Francisco - 3/28/2013 This is almost but not quite a great product.I occassionally have problems with scan forward especially when watching a program recorded on my other dvr.Media share is a headache.I have given up on it.No Pandora yet.I really like being able to record five programs at the same time and the large hard drive.
good but not great dweezil - temecula ca and, temecula ca and - 10/15/2012 i needed to replace my sagetv dvr after google bought sagetv. so i bought the hr34 and changed the hdd to 2tb. the hdd upgrade is very simple. the receiver works as advertised. the receiver software is a little clunky it will freeze for short periods on playback. i do not use any client dtv receivers so i cant comment on that functionality.
