R15 300 Qliches
I had a RCA DVR 40 that worked well, but died. Directv replaced it with a R-15 300 ("brand new DVR") which has been, in our estimation, a downgrade in operation. It is inconsistent in recording preprogramed programs (doesn't record, or says it's recording when it isn't), when advancing or backing up, it delays and you have to tinker with it to get it where you want it (even using the replay, 6 sec. button) - it's a nuisance. Using the remote is like doing a slow mo, when you press a button twice you have to go slow as it doesn't take. I have read other peoples account of problems with the R-15 and software updates are mentioned. We have OX104B updated 8/23/06, with no future upgrades scheduled (according to the info. on our system). I don't want to call tech serv and go through the hassle of trying this and trying that when I read that other people have done that to no avail. We opted to buy a new hard drive for our RCA DVR40 and want to switch back to using that machine and not the R-15. Is this going to be a problem?
