I feel like a beta tester

Date of Review:  Sep 4, 2006
Review: The bugs that this DVR carries should have never made it this far. The firmware is incredibly slow and unreliable. I had a Dish Network DVR for five years and had to "reset" it twice. I've had the R15 for three weeks and have had to reset it at...

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...

A MASSIVE DISAPPOINTMENT

Date of Review:  Nov 19, 2006
Review: You will be disappointed with this device. It freezes, won't start recording, then won't stop recording, return to regular speed play after fastforwarding is slow, it randomly stops changing channels (the channel number changes but the show stays...

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...

Date of Review:  Jul 23, 2007

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...

R15 is horrible. What were they thinking?

Date of Review:  Mar 12, 2007
The Bottom Line: Just because it looks nice and has flashy features-- and may even be free-- doesn't mean it's worth having.
Review: If I had to guess, DirecTV management is well aware of their mistake with regard to their current DVR equipment provider. The equipment they use now, the R15, is simply horrible. I've been a customer of theirs for 3-4 years now, and was extremely...

R15 just died

Date of Review:  Jun 6, 2008
The Bottom Line: Wouldn't recommend. Too many glitches
Review: I have owned an R15 box for maybe 2 years and have not had many problems with it. A few of the issues that are mentioned in other reviews have surfaced occasionally. Overall I think I got a pretty good unit, until recently. Just in the past week it...

Inferior device from an inferior company

Date of Review:  Aug 8, 2008
The Bottom Line: Not recommended, especially considering DirecTV's inferior customer service and deceptive billing practices.
Review: Caveat emptor!! I originally received a DVR when a DirecTV system was installed in my home on February 12, 2007. The problems with my DVRs have been constant and pervasive, as documented below. 2 or 3 replacement DVRs were supplied by DirecTV after...

Avoid DirecTV and this DVR

Date of Review:  Feb 22, 2008
Review: I was a happy DirecTV customer for a long time. Then I received this DVR as a "replacement" for an R10 DVR I purchased at Best Buy. This DVR never worked from Day 1, and DirecTV scammed me into another two year contract to boot. I was told over the...
