A poor TIVO wannabe ”

 

Before hailing this box as the best thing sinced sliced bread, I would strongly encourage you try a real DVR...one from TIVO. But be sure that it has DIRECTV built in. DIRECTV and TIVO together = heaven!

It's better than my 3 previous DVRs ”

 

The Directv R15 is an okay maybe even decent model...when it is working.  I do not appreciate it when my shows do not record because the machine has to be re-set and it takes at least five minutes to get it to re-set and then up to thirty minutes to...

Inferior product, too many glitches to list. Thumbs way down! ”

 

Granted I recieved this product free from direct tv when my old Tivo box went caput. I should have said thanks but no thanks. It's very unreliable. The menu is slow and sluggish to respond.

The DIRECTV R15 DTV Receiver / 100-Hours Video Recorder is crap. ”

 

The DIRECTV R15 DTV Receiver / 100-Hours Video Recorder is a piece of crap. It records pretty well for about 1/3 of the space allowed.  After that you start getting distorted picture's, recordings that pause a lot and when it finally starts to going...

Overall decent product but has many bugs. ”

 

I have had this product for just a little over 2 years now. Overall, the DirecTV DVR is decent, but it has many flaws. It is advertised that 100 hours are available, but it tends to "fill up" with only 16-20 hours recorded. When it tends to "fill up",...
