RCA DRD430RG DirecTV Receiver(see Terms and Conditions)
Videotapers Beware
I just recently switched from Cable to Direct TV (having purchased the DRD430RG box. It was not until I had everything hooked up that I came to realize that you cannot program the VCR to tape shows in the same manner that you can with a cable connection. For example, you can't tape one show and watch another, or have it link with the program number each show carries. It basically only allows you to tape whatever is on channel 3 (that the TV is set to). No more easily taping multiple items on multiple channels. I found that with a timer function that comes with the system, it was possible to have Direct TV change the channel, but this will also turn off the system at the end of the session and you have to &quot;reboot&quot; each time you start up again. Big hassle. If you like taping all those shows you can't watch, think twice before investing in this Direct TV.
