Philips DSR6000R DIRECTV Receiver with TiVo Service
Quicks &amp; issues, but still Tivo!
This is my first Tivo unit, but I did a lot of research before buying it.  Right off the bat I'll point out the one thing that NO-ONE else has said about this unit:  Unlike other Phillips units, the DSR6000 DOES NOT ALLOW you to change the recording quality setting.  Why on earth they REMOVED this feature is beyond me. On other units you have the choice of trading off recording quality for time.  DSR6000 unit owners do not have this option - it's just software, should be cake to fix.<br />The other problems (slower surfing, no advance spports listing, etc.) have been outlined by others.  Also, unlike the RCA DirectTV receiver that this replaced, there is no &quot;go back&quot; botton to allow you to instantly go back and forth between 2 stations.<br />Lastly, my unit had a defective S-Video output, but this stuff happens.  I am awaiting the replacement.<br />Having said all of the above, the fact remains that it is still Tivo and DirectTV combined.  IMHO, a MUST for any sports fan!  The unit is pretty easy to  use, and a ton of fun!<br />Hopefully they are reading thiese things and will address the shortcomings in future software upgrades.
