Philips DSR6000R DIRECTV Receiver with TiVo Service
Keep your fingers crosses!
The Philips, Sony and Hughes TIVO DTV receivers were all being built by the same outfit in Mexico.  After misleading all three vendors for weeks -- about backordering product -- they finally admitted they've given up on the product.  Mostly because of their own lousy quality control.  I have had three of the Hughes version in the past seven months.  Currently waiting for number four!  <br />All three &quot;manufacturers&quot; are apparently repairing returned units to cover their warranty obligations.  Hughes has taken as long as two months to get the TIVO unit back to me -- giving me a non-TIVO loaner in the meanwhile.<br />Saying all that, I love the damned thing when it's up and running.  My hope is that all or one of the big three will get it together and come up with satisfactory manufacture and quality control.  And, hopefully, my next remanufactured unit will last more than some minimal amount of time.
