RCA DRD420RE DIRECTV PLUS Second-Room Receiver
RCA - Good for the first 90 days.
I have 3 receivers in my home. Two are the DRD420RE. They were both bought new from a dealer/installer. Both boxes worked fine for a few weeks. One has been replaced (RMA'ed within the first 90 days) and the other has constant frame and sound lock-up, but is outside the 90 \\"very\\" limited warranty.<br />RCA does not stand behind their products very well. The current (October, 2001) replacement fee for this box direct from RCA is (...). And what you get back is refurbished. Very interesting that you can buy a new one here for (less).<br />RCA's warranty only lasts for 30 days for full coverage and 90 days for partial coverage. Partial meaning that after the 90 days, you pay to replace your broken box.<br />Other than the fact that these boxes don't last long and RCA has terrible customer service, I do enjoy my satellite. I use it daily and love it more than cable.<br />I think that next time I might try Phillips or Sony.
