Thanks Newegg!

 

I ordered it from Newegg.com and it arrived the very next afternoon! That's unbelievable service - with standard ground shipping at that! Thanks!

This unit replaced an original Hughes HIRD-E25 receiver ; Easy to set up and get activated. Directv is providing a new Slimline SWM 5 LNB dish and installing it for no charge... can't beat that. The picture and sound quality are both outstanding

Just so u know

 

Just so you know.... buying this box does not mean you don't have to pay the lease fee on it. The price you pay here is just like the down payment for leasing a car. DirecTV will still charge $4.99/ mo lease fee.

It's DirecTV's standard HD box Works great.

If you want HD DirecTV but don't want a DVR this is your only choice.

Comes with HDMI (ok) and component (marginal) cables.

This DVR is just an image of the real thing ”

 

I was surprised to see all the positive reviews for this DVR then I realized it wasn't for this product but the invention of the DVR itself. I don't think these reviewers owned any other DVD's prior to the review.

DirecTV DVR ”

 

My dad loves this DVR. I don't know how he used to watch television without it because he uses it so much. This DVR is so easy to use. All you have to do is click on the program you want to record by using the guide on the television. It even allows...

Great features but sometimes gets stuck ”

 

PROS:  I love our DTV.  We have had it for a year now.  We really love using it because we can look for and record shows that we like, which otherwise we wouldn't know existed.  For example, we have been recording lots of Christmas shows for our 8 year...
