New equipment after initial upgrade

Just a question that came to mind while reading all the info on the forum. What will be the process of adding an additional receiver/DVR to the network after having the initial updrage completed? Will the DECA module ship with a new receiver or will they be available individually if receiver/DVR is purchased from the Big Yellow Tag store, AKA: Best Buy?

An H24 or HR24 won't require a DECA module of course, but I haven't even seen any speculation on how the DIY installation of other, older models will be handled. It seems unlikely they will include one with the receivers however.

When I had my MRV installed, they didn't even give the installer enough DECA units. It doesn't sound like they really want DIY's to do the multi-room. That is just what I got from talking to my installer and one of his co workers that came to check it out. It was the first one for both of them.

Brand new to all of this, and trying to get up to speed on the MRV Beta, etc. I have 2 HR20-100 and 2 H24-100. Will they both need the DECA modules?

Thanks,
Andy
