Want to take part in beta trial???

Hello,
I have a HR21-200 HD-DVR in my living room.
My Bedroom has a Phillips DVR DSR 708.
Would I be able to take part in this trial?
If so, I saw the software on my receiver in my living room.
But, it is not picking up any other receivers, am I doing something wrong?
Is software availble for the one in my bedroom, so tha the two receivers will
work with each other in the multi-room sense?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

PS: Do I have to upgrade any of my recevers?

You need at least two current model HD receivers (H2x or HR2x) and at least one of them must be a DVR, The HR21 is fine, but the Philips won't work for MRV. They also need to be networked together and, optionally, connected to your home computer network and Internet. Since you don't have the necessary receivers, the best thing to do is to wait for the for the new DECA network equipment to become available and upgrade everything at once. Investing in additional equipment to participate in the beta is not recommended.
