Which stand alone DVR receiver will work with a stand alone dish?
I have the geni system in my house and have a stand alone dish in my tiki hut (deck) that I have a H24-700 receiver. I also have a H24-700 receiver on the dock. In the boat an Intellian system. I just take the receivers with me when I use the boat or the camper use a foldout dish for it or when tailgating at events.
Could I get a DVR receiver to use in these ? I know I would have to add a receiver to my account but was thinking about adding one so I wouldn't have the hassle of moving them.

Thank you. A couple of months ago I got the emails about I would lose my local channels if I didn't upgrade my standard receivers. Directv sent out a tech for the upgrade. He brought 2 H25 receivers. I told him those aren't going to work. Long story short he wanted to run coax cables across the yard to deck and dock. Why would I want to run cables over 200 feet? He left and had already disconnected the standard boxes, so I had no tv in the deck or at the dock. After calling DIRECTV we can't reactivate your standard boxes once they have been disconnected. Luckly, I had a H24-700 and they activated it. Had to return the H25s and got them to send me another H24-700 for the dock.
I like to watch a lot of sports and usually record them and watch a couple hours later so why I would like a DVR. I am already paying for DVR and whole house DVR so I don't think it should be a problem.

Yes they told me since I was requesting a certain model there might be a delay. No problem as I am already paying for 2 additional receivers anyway. Wasn't much of a delay as it was here within a week.
As the weather gets nicer here in south Florida would enjoy sitting out in the tiki hut watching the HEAT games as grilling or even playing in the fire pit. Could even pause if if needed to walk back in the house and resume when get back. If I can find one we will see how it works out. If not just have to watch in the house on the big screen as usual.
