The R15 model is buggy, it should have never been released.

Fast forward and rewind are unpredictable...

GUI is counter intuitive...

Search function is unpredictable/unreliable...

It doesn't always shows on the 'to do' list...


but the big kicker is that the thing just doesn't work...
If you have over half the hard drive full with programs, the DVR will stop recording your shows. You will no longer be able to rewind live TV. Pretty much the hard drive just stop functioning. The only fix is to wipe our everything you have saved on the drive and start over. AFTER THREE TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH, THAT'S IT!!!!!!!


a clock that works just two hours a day isn't a clock that works...

Thanks and it looks like I won't be spending money on any DTV DVR's. Does Tivo work with DTV?

The solution is to just get a DirecTv Tivo DVR. They are still available, and they are damn awesome... I have 4 of them, including the HD one (with the new software) and they all work fine.

6 months ago we added a Directv DVR (already had a Directv Tivo receiver) because of a free offer from BB. The user interface was awful. I returned it and ordered a refurbished Tivo DVR for $15. This is when they were clearing their inventory. It has a small glitch but is much better than the Directv receiver. It is also nice to have the same remote (works on both boxes in case you mis place one) and functionality so you can surf without looking.

My brother had a Tivo Directv Hdef model and just added the new Directv hdtv model. He hated the new one so much he put it on his second tv. The tivo model was slow but they just did a software upgrade through the system and it solved the problem.
