R15 - Major Design Flaws Remain in 2007

Date of Review:  Jun 17, 2007
The Bottom Line: R15 software design has deep flaws, it's unstable and unreliable. Definitely look at other DVR (and other service provider) options first, and leave the R15 as last resort....
Review: The R15 came after the DirecTV with TiVo (R10). The R10 made DirecTV a clear winner; the R15 has me thinking that cable or Dish Network might be a better choice.

The user interface is OK, but is clumsy and clunky in comparison to TiVo. It...

Awful experience--DTV WILL LOSE CUSTOMERS.

Date of Review:  Sep 19, 2006
Review: I had the DTV Tivo unit for a year, then ordered a second unit and DTV provided this unit, which was inferior to the Tivo unit in almost every way. Doesn't distinguish between episodes and series. Search functions are almost non-existent. Basically...

I've never had anything electronic that works as poorly

Date of Review:  Dec 27, 2007
The Bottom Line: If you purchase this product after researching it online, you deserve all the headaches that will be coming your way.
Review: I have the DirecTV R-15. I've owned 4 of them. The first one locked up on a daily basis. It had to be reset multiple times a day. When you reset the unit, it takes a good few moments to reboot and then takes up to 36 hours to download the full...

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,...
