A wonderful DVR with some issues

Date of Review:  Aug 8, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is a complex and capable DVR offering from DirecTV. It'll take a bit of time to learn, but once mastered you'll get many hours of enjoyment from this DVR.

Date of Review:  Jul 22, 2008
The Bottom Line: Great HD picture, fair non HD. Good value and better than cable.
Review: Since the start, I've enjoyed the mini dish revolution since day one. Like mac vs. windows, Dish VS. DirecTV brings HD DVR in to a whole new technology with the familiarity of Directv's DVR features. When Direct's installers came out, they brought a...
