I wouldn't say blow away. DTV HR34's 5 tuners > Hopper's 3 tuners.

yes i know but the Hopper has a much better interface, fastest processor on the market and a 2 TB hard drive. Plus it records 6 shows at once every night from 7-10pm. my buddy has a 34 reciever and he doesnt have full functionality on the shows in every room. with my hopper i can pause, rewind, FF, record, etc from any room and resume in any room. its pretty bad arse. look it up on CNET and PCmag, both have said its by far the best DVR on the market.

also my buddies who work for Dish said that the Hopper 2 comes out this fall and it will have 6 tuners with a built in slingbox and wireless client recievers to the other tuners that are the size of a dollar.
