DirecTV could do better
I had many of the same problems as the first reviewer. Frequent lock-ups requiring a hard reset by climbing behind the entertainment center to unplug the unit, blips in the recording and mysterious lines from time to time, dropped audio, the list goes on. <br /> <br />The remote is blocky and unintuitive with too many and oddly placed buttons. Punching in channel numbers requires you to look at the remote and use both hands to shift the position of it, then push the tiny buttons way down at the bottom of the remote while you continue to hold it in both hands. <br /> <br />On the upside the R15 does have alot of functionality built into it, it's just too bad the built-in 1 & 1/2 second delay makes it all so frustrating to navigate.
