Pause - Read this review!!! DirecTV R15 DVR

Date of Review:  Sep 6, 2006
The Bottom Line: For a beginner it's a great deal, but if you are into technical things (I'm not) then I'm sure you would want something a bit better.
Review: About a year ago, we switched from Cable TV to Satelite TV.... After reviewing the different companies and packages, my husband decided to go with DirecTV. Originally we did not have the DVR option. About 3 months into our DirecTV contract my...

DirecTV R15 DVR - terrible! terrible! terrible!

Date of Review:  Oct 9, 2006
The Bottom Line: The DirecTV R15 DVR is the worst electronic equipment I've ever owned period.
Review: Back in January 2006, I finally decided get my first ever DVR and as a DirecTV customer took advantage of the rebate offer to basically get a free R15 unit.

Now, I've never had a DVR before and not biased due to previous experience (i.e...

Junk. Find used DirectTV R10 (made by Tivo) instead

Date of Review:  Nov 13, 2006
The Bottom Line: Low marks for everything because R15 just doesn't work, and what doesn't work doesn't exist.
Review: Being a software engineer myself, I am truly ashamed to see this misery made by my collegues from a company called NDS. R15 is -- let's put it mildly -- a disaster.

Let's start from fast forwarding; the guys didn't figure the art of...

Worst product Ive ever Used.

Date of Review:  Dec 28, 2006
Review: This is not hyperbole. Honestly, this is the worst piece of electronics Ive ever owned. Because of the contracts involved there is no way to return it either, avoid this at all costs.

The bugs are too numerous to list, and new ones seem to...

Not the Best!

Date of Review:  Feb 1, 2008
The Bottom Line: OK for a DVR - much better models out there.
Review: I've been a Tivo fan and when directv got their own version of a dvr I was bummed but had to go with it due to the free upgrade. I have 4 different DVRs in my house and 2 are tivo. The tivo ones are much better and last longer. This R15 model has...

Bad Interface

Date of Review:  Dec 5, 2006
Review: I received the R15 as a replacement for a failed R10 DirecTivo. The TiVo offered intuitive menu structures that were laid out in logical sequence. The R15 requires a lot of navigation to other menu areas to accomplish what should be simple tasks...

3 days of hell

Date of Review:  Dec 18, 2006
Review: I've only had the R15 for 3 days and what a piece of junk. Freezes, loses recordings, remote doubles single hits often, needs reset. Today I called Directv and they had me reset everything. That means I lost everything I had recorded. At times the...

Run away!

Date of Review:  Jan 25, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you must buy it, be prepared to be disappointed.
Review: I used to have a DirecTV Tivo unit, the R10. Unfortunately, it crapped out one day, so I went to the store to pick up this unit to replace it. The R15 is the first DVR offered by DirecTV that isn't based on Tivo, it is based on their own software,...

Good, basic DVR Could offer more options

Date of Review:  May 12, 2006
The Bottom Line: Good unit for a starter especially if offered with a rebate.
Review: This is the first DVR that I have owned and we got it as a "bonus" from DirecTV. We had switched from Dish Network because we got a better deal financially, and the DVR was thrown in with the package.
This unit is capable of recording while you...

OK if you don't care about recording

Date of Review:  Sep 22, 2007
The Bottom Line: Good basic receiver, but almost completely useless for recording.
Review: For the past month I had been using a DirecTV TiVo model R10 that I had purchased. Although it s not perfect, I loved it. However, I had some issues with receiving local channels, and DirecTV said that there was nothing they could do from their end...
