Philips DSR6000R DIRECTV Receiver with TiVo Service
The Ultimate TV Accessory - Update
My Jan.7 comments (below) still valid - like unit more the more I use it!! Most criticisms posted seem to boil down to (1)&quot;Unit does not record cable or off-the-air broadcasts:&quot; true, but this is offset by benefits of integrated box; you will probably find you watch non-satellite broadcasts less and less, and if they must be recorded a VCR will still do the job! (2) Bitching about limitations of warranty and cost of repairs: customer bought unit despite clearly stated warranty provisions, which are identical to those for 95% of TVs, VCRs, and similar electronic products (90 days labor; 1 yr. parts) ... Only problem I've had so far is occasional failure of daily phone calls to TiVo. Appears to have been fixed by inserting &quot;,#034&quot; as a dialing prefix, which I understand slows the modem down and helps overcome noisy telephone lines ... P.S. Rumor has it that Philips, Sony, and Hughes are stopping production of these units due to disappointing sales. DirecTV will produce a box under their brand label with some mostly useless new &quot;features&quot;; price will probably be considerably higher. If I didn't already have one, I would hurry to snap up one of the current units at the prevailing fire sale prices!! Finally, again, be sure to SHOP AROUND for the best price before you buy!!
