Review title: worst dvr I've ever owned. Hands down.
Product review: The main reason I dropped DirecTV is this piece of equipment. DirecTV used to license their dvr's from TiVo, but started making their own product in 2004 I think. The unit required reformatting on multiple occasions and then just died. DirecTV sent me a replacement which did the same thing and promptly died on its 95th day and it had a 90 day warranty.I switched to Verizon FIOS in 2007 and have had the same HD DVR since then, and it still works fine, so in retrospect, my 1-star rating on this DirecTV garbage still holds true.
