Customer Reviews

Never Had A Problem by K. Sinden
We have also had this box for 2 years now in our bedroom and never once had a problem with it. In fact we have a TiVo brand in the living room and I perfer this one over the other one 10 to 1. Im not sure where the complaints are coming from..but i love ours and again never once had any issues with it. I am actually going to purchase 2 more of these boxes for the kids room.

NO PROBLEMS HERE by Lee
We’ve been using the R15 for more than a year and have had very, very few problems with it. As has been already said, the naysayers giving this product 1 star should learn how to oh, I don’t know, READ THE MANUAL before they complain about a problem that’s easily fixed. And this is not the forum to be airing gripes against DirecTV customer service in general, it’s supposed to be about this DVR.

Anyway…

I personally found the service and remote to be rather intuitive. I don’t believe I referred to the manual more than once the first day we had it.

The only recent problem I have had more than once is with NASCAR Hot Pass. There are times when the video simply freezes and I have to cold boot the device. It doesn’t happen all the time, but enough to make note of it. If it was truly problematic, however, I would call DirecTV but rebooting the DVR is something I can live with. If it gets to the point where I have to do it more than once a race, then I’ll call.

My two cents is that this is a good product that does what it advertises.

Total loss. by Thomas Dibble
I can’t add much to what is already written in every other review here. This is junk hardware of the worst kind. I am seriously considering dumping DirecTV, after being a subscriber since 1999 (aside from a 1-year diversion to Dish). Their customer service for this lemon of a device absolutely sucks. I can no longer trust them to provide reliable service or stand behind their products.

This is a disaster. Do NOT purchase!!!

THIS DVR IS AWESOME!!!! by Amber N. Drummond
I can not BELIEVE the reviews that I read! I wasn’t even going to write a review for this but since there is so negativity about this DVR i thought i would at least tell you all that this is NOT A PIECE OF JUNK! I had TIVO, and i hated it, i had it for 2 days and from the moment i plugged it up i hated it, it was a 12.99 (probably more now) monthly fee and u had to have a phone line hooked up to it! anyways, i just hated it, period…then i got directv and i ended up with 3 dvr’s, one in each room (i have 4 ppl in my household) and all of us do not have ONE complaint! It records 2 things at once, you can set it up however you would like for it to record, while ur recording something, you can watch another program.

Do NOT listen to any of these horrible reviews, these people are insane to not like this machine!! This DVR is AWESOME!! I couldn’t live without it!!
