Every now and then one of these comes into the office. I don’t really understand it – if you are at the post office anyway buying that additional $3.75 in metered postage, why the entire sheet of stamps? Any why rip off each at the perforation and stick them all back on?
Usually when we get one of these they have 30 different types of stamps on them – like raiding your change drawer to pay for something. But they’re always fun to see!
For a limited time, we have cut prices on ALL TiVo Premiere DVRs by $40 to $50. This includes stock units as well as upgraded models. This applies to Premiere, Premiere 4, and Premiere XL4 (Elite) models.
Please note that due to the way our cart works, these may look like permanent price drops, but the discounts are only guaranteed through mid-August.
All units are in stock!
We don’t have a ton of information yet about the upcoming C41W – the wireless Genie Client from DIRECTV – but we’ve got some info. We have a new DIRECTV Genie C41W page on our site which will be where we’ll take orders for the item once we have an idea of when we’ll have it in stock.
This unit will work off a wireless signal from a DIRECTV wireless base station. This is NOT a Wifi adapter, nor will a Wifi adapter help or interfere. And, the Wifi built into the HR44 won’t talk to the C41W (although that can bridge internet to the C41W through the proprietary wireless connection).
The C41W will ship with the RC71 remote. DIRECTV says the C41W is expected to work through roughly five walls and 75 feet. Like all wireless products, range and signal quality will vary in every house and simply won’t work everywhere.
One wireless base station can handle all of the clients. But you will also be able to have multiple base stations to get better coverage around your installation. All base stations need to be wired into the SWM network.
More info as we have it . . .
Just an update to some previous blog posts – both the new DIRECTV Genie Server HR44 and the DIRECTV Genie Client C41 are in stock and shipping.
These are nicer, faster, smaller than their predecessors and both come with the two-way RF remote, the DIRECTV RC71.
Just a quick note – the update to the C31 Genie client, the C41, will begin shipping next week.
See our main DIRECTV C41 Genie client page for ordering information. We are taking pre-orders now.
The main different between the C31 and C41 is that the C41 comes with the new DIRECTV RF Remote RC71.
Earlier this week we also started shipping the DIRECTV HR44 Genie Server.
