| I used DirecTVPC too. Love it.
No, I was referring to MRV (multi-room viewing) from DVRs to stand-alone receivers. I don't have one to test anymore but I do know it was (has has been) in beta for sometime now.

I'm upgrading my home network to gigabit. Once we can stream across DVR's, it would be nice if DirecTV released a gigabit capable DVR.
Jeez, I never imagined the load my LAN currently gets. I'm starting to see the potential for even faster than gigabit one day ... ouch!

| You're not 'streaming' media across DVRs - the client DVR is reading the encrypted data file on the remote DVR and then decrypting it for playback. The bandwidth required is tiny - GiGE connections on the receivers would be total overkill.

| I'm streaming from DVR to PC, and from other media servers to other media clients some of which are PC's. Eventually DirecTV will permit one DVR to play the content of another DVR on the LAN IMO.

The bandwidth required is tiny - GiGE connections on the receivers would be total overkill. Are you sure about that? I thought it was using the same base of DLNA+DTCP that DirecTV2PC was using, and that the whole intent of the PC player was to test the media server on the HR2x machines to prepare for MRV. |

| Anybody know if you could use the network to change channels rather than the USB port? |

When I use DirecTVPC on my laptop and view an HD show, it sometimes stutters. My laptop is connected via a 'n' connection. So at least with HD, I think the bandwidth requirements may be pretty high.
