How to Replace a Direct TV Receiver With an HD DVR
Replace your old DirecTV receiver with a newer HD DVR model to unlock the expanded features of your satellite service.

Even though the HD DVR is more complex than a standard receiver, it will only take a couple of minutes to install the new set-top box to your home theater system.
