How do I sign up to beta test this Multi-Room system

I want to find out how to beta test this system. We are having issues trying to get our DVR's installed in our new house. We are in need of this system and we would be a excellent candidate to test it because we would test it to its maximum capacity. Thanks

There's nothing you need to do to sign up except turn on the beta version on your DVRs. However, if you don't already have your receivers installed and networked together, DirecTV is strongly recommending that you wait for the final version of MRV. The reason being that at that time you will need to re-do your entire network setup completely to use the new (and not yet available) DECA system for connecting your receivers together. This system will use the same coax that carries the satellite signals for the network connections, eliminating the need for running cables or buying wireless or powerline network equipment.

The beta test is primarily aimed at those who already have the necessary receivers and netork connections in place. As yet, there's bee no word on a time frame for the final version however.
