DIRECTV Plus DVR (Lease)
DIRECT TV DVR VS. TIVO
I JUST \\"LEASED\\" MY DIRECT TV DVR AND I COULD NOT HELP BUT COMPARE IT WITH MY TIVO BRAND DVR I HAD PREVIOUSLY. THE BIGGEST FLAW ON THE DIRECT TV DVR IS THE FAST FORWARD AND REWIND FEATURE. EVERYTIME I TRY TO PLAY AFTER FAST FORWARDING A COMMERCIAL THERES A DELAY AND IT STOPS AFTER THE PROGRAM HAS STARTED, I TRY TO REWIND AND I GO BACK INTO THE COMMERCIALS. MAYBE DIRECT TV DID THIS SO YOU CAN WATCH SOME OF THE COMMERCIALS. I ALSO LOVED THE \\"SEASON PASS\\" FEATURE OF THE TIVO NOW DIRECT TV CALLS IT \\"SERIES LINK\\". THE SEASON PASS FEATURE IS SO MUCH EASIER TO NAVIGATE AND FILE YOUR PROGRAMS THAN SERIES LINK. MAYBE DIRECT TV WILL GET ENOUGH CRITISM ABOUT THEIR NEW DVR'S AND DECIDE TO PUT TIVO BACK INTO IT'S DVR.
