1.0 out of 5 stars Worst PVR EVER!, April 28, 2006
By M. Shantar "juanhovito" (New York, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've owned the R10 and other Tivo based units. This unit, the R15, is by far the worst DVR of all time. DirecTV is doing first time PVR users a diservice by turning them off to the jobs of PVR ownership.

It's slow.
Impossible to navigate.
Buggy.
Crashes.
Worthless.

Be warned.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible, April 14, 2006
By barbre (Troy, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This thing won't record correctly when you tell it to. It's slow, and a royal pain to use. We called Directv to ask for a solution to it not recording shows and they wanted us to pay them to switch our paid for box with a rental unit, or we could pay $399 for a new one. This after I told them that THEIR forums are filled with people complaining about the thing not working, and a replacement wouldn't solve the problems. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE.

1.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely terrible, September 20, 2006
Read the reviews above and search the net for bulletin boards.
This piece of equipment is absolutely worthless, I mean it. DirecTV otherwise is a fine service, but do NOT get this box, it's terrible along with the software used to run it.
Completely non-functional...I've had three in six months, all terrible.
