DIRECTV Group - HD DVR Review

I have used 3 DVR's:  TiVo, Dish PVR, and DirecTv DVR.  The directv DVR is the WORST.  I don't think anything can compare to TiVo, but directv has fallen very far from the DVR tree!

It's supposed to record 2 shows at once.  The 1st DVR I had to replace because it would only record 1 show.  So now, I'm on my 2nd DVR and it too has problems.  The remote has to be directly pointing at it, with NO obsruction of view, to work at all. We're constantly over fastwording and rewinding because the dvr doesn't respond to the remote commands.  Even after repeated battery replacements.  Also, it very frequently doesn't record shows...just randomly.  Even if it's in the to do list, it doesn't record.

I am just waiting for my contract to expire so I can rid myself of this terrible product.  DirecTV should go back to using TiVo boxes!!
