 Worst product ever produced May 22, 2008
I am on my 4th box in 6 months. When my contract is up I am going right back to cable. I wish I had read these comments before I signed a contract with them. Direct TV is very difficult to deal with and this DVR is the worst product ever produced.
HATE IT!!! May 2, 2008
Just like many of the other reviewers - I HATE THIS MACHINE! Even my child asked to have "our old TiVo" back! This experience is bad enough to turn me off to DirecTV completely (I've been a customer for over 10 years!!). DO NOT get this machine!! Doesn't matter if it is free! It is better to pay for a TiVo that actually works well.

I upgraded to a used direct tv dvr. I've had the same problem 2x's Shows that I record get garbled and end early. Direct tv sent a repairman the first time since it was under warranty. He told me to unplug the electrical and coax lines. Worked the first time, but not now. I am not impressed!
 DirectTV DVR versus TIVO January 7, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I purchased (leased) DirectTV's DVR about a month ago after having owned a TIVO for some years. Contrary to the opinion of many reviewers here I actually prefer the DirectTV DVR to TIVO's version of the DVR. The DirectTV version seems to operate faster with additional features that I prefer over those of TIVO. Now with that being said I was perfectly happy with TIVO's version and it has been running fine for several years. Hopefully DirectTV's will do the same. To date absolutely zero problems with DirectTV's DVR.
Direct TV Plus verses DishPVR 510 December 28, 2007

I HAD DIRECT TV 10 YEARS AGO. SWITCHED TO DISH NETWORK BECAUSE THEY WEREN'T OFFERING SUPER STATION FEEDBACKS LIKE KTLA AND WSBK BOSTON. AND THEY STILL AREN'T OFFERING ANY OF THESE STATIONS AS OF TODAY. I SIGNED BACK UP WITH DIRECT TV THIS WEEK OF DECEMBER 27, 2007 THROUGH A PERMOTION FOR A FREE SHARP 19 INCH HDTV WHICH I NEED.
NOT SURE HOW LONG I WILL STAY. HOW LONG I WILL RETURN THIS
CRAPPY DVR UNIT BACK TO DIRECT TV AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THE MANY FEATURES
THAT THIS MACHINE LACK COMPARE TO TIVO AND DISH NETWORK DVRS UNIT.
FIRST OF ALL, DIRECT PLUS DVR IS SIMILAR TO THAT OF SCIENTIFIC ATLANTA CABLE DVR BOX. BOTH UNITS WILL SHUT DOWN IF YOU MISSED PAYMENT. THEN YOU ARE OUT OF LUCK VIEWING YOUR DVR PROGRAMS WHICH YOU CAN NOT ACCESS FREELY. ON THE DISH PLAYER 510 FROM DISH NETWORK. YOU CAN DO THAT EVEN IF YOUR SERVICE IS CUT OFF. AND IT IS FREE TO WATCH. NOT SURE HOW IT WORKS ON
TIVO SINCE I DO NOT HAVE ONE BUT PLANNING TO GET A HIGH END ONE SOON.
THERE ARE CERTAIN PROBLEMS WITH DIRECT TV DVR PLUS THAT I HAVE TO ADDRESS. DIRECT TV PLUS IS VERY HARD TO NAVIGATE. INTERFACE IS NOT SIMILAR TO DISH NETWORK. NEED TO IMPROVE THE MENU LIBARY.
I WOULDN'T RECORD LENGTHY TV SERIE SHOWS USING THIS MACHINE.
I WAS TOLD BY A CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT IF YOU REMOVED THE SATELLITE CABLE WIRE. IT WOULDN'T WORK ON IT'S OWN. MEANING IF YOU WANT TO WATCH A DVR PROGRAM. YOU CAN NOT DO SO ON IT'S OWN! BIG MISTATKE! WITH DISH NETWORK. YOU CAN WATCH PROGRAM EVEN IF YOU REMOVED THE SATELITE CABLE WIRE FROM THE BACK.
YOU CAN NOT DO THAT WITH DIRECT TV PLUS. IT WILL RESET ITSELF OR GO BACK
TO THE ORIGINAL STATE ONCE YOU PLUG BACK THE CABLE IN. MEANING ALL DVR PROGRAMS ARE GONE OR ERASE.
FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE SUBSCRIBING TO DIRECT TV. GET YOUR OWN TIVO BOXES AS BACKUP IN CASE IF THIS MACHINE GOES BAD OR YOU DO GET CUT OFF FOR NON PAYMENT. I WOULD SUGGEST GETTING THE HIGH END TIVO UNIT RETAIL AT $600.00.
IF YOUR SERVICE DUE GET CUT OFF OR AND UNFORTUNATE SITUATION HAPPEN, THEN YOU'LL HAVE A BACK UP OF WATCHING PROGRAMS FROM ANOTHER SOUCRE LIKE TIVO. IF YOU DO LOSE ALL YOUR PROGARMS, IT WOULD BE DIRECT TV FAULT OF WHOEVER ENGINEER THIS CRAPPY UNIT. THIS UNIT IS NOT SUPERIOR TO TIVO OR DISH PVR UNITS FROM DISH NETWORK. THEY HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO IN MEETING UP WITH TIVO AND DISH NETWORK STANDARD.
Bright side of this. The DIRECT TV remote control are UNIVERSAL. Very easy to program which work great for my SONY TV and Panasonic DVD Video Recorder. I'd just order another one.
