To-Do List Question

My MRV is working great! I love it.

I know from reading here that seeing a to-do list from my second HD DVR on my primary HD DVR is not available.

1. Will a combined to-do list be available when MRV goes live officially? Do those people in the official test cities have this feature?

2. From reading is it my understanding to use DECA that DirecTV will need to install their own router?

As far as I know, current features are the same for everyone... no difference between the beta version and what's running in the pilot cities.

DECA does not require a router at all, but can be connected to the customer's router for local network and internet access if desired. At some point there is supposed to be a DirecTV approved, DECA-enabled router available. However, presumably that will just be a convenience and not a requirement for DECA and network connectivity.

I see on the MRV promo page that you can record two shows while watching two others. Is that feature working in the beta cities?

As far as I know, all of those features work for both the beta version and in the pilot cities. Exactly what can be done at any given moment also depends on the equipment you have. So for example if you had one HD DVR and one regular HD receiver... with the DVR recording two programs, the TV connected to the DVR could be viewing one of those two programs or something else previously recorded, while the regular receiver could be viewing something recorded on the DVR or a completely different, live program. Two DVRs on the other hand would add the option to record two programs (one on each DVR) plus watch two live programs (again, one on each DVR).
