Nice DirecTV DVR. Multi featured high quality recorder from DirecTV. Watch and Record your favorite programs.

The TiVo service is completely and seamlessly integrated into the satellite tuner. Rather than the functional menus and EPG grids of a standard DirecTV box, you get an attractive, streamlined TiVo look and feel. It remains the best graphical user interface we’ve seen to date. The DirecTV R10 includes all the great features that made TiVo a household name. You can pause and rewind live TV; store 70 hours of programming; search program listings and create wish lists by actor, director, genre, and other keywords; and use the Season Pass option to automatically record your favorite shows whenever they air. That final TiVo-only feature is a great convenience and something that, to date, no other DVR provider has implemented as cleanly and accurately.

Connectivity is ample. In addition to the two RF satellite inputs, there’s an additional RF pass-through (nonrecordable) input for an off-air antenna or a cable connection. Twin A/V outputs are provided, including a single S-Video connection for optimal video quality, plus an optical digital-audio output. An RF output ensures compatibility with older televisions. And the R10 automatically downloads its software updates and 14-day EPG from the satellite, so the phone-line connection is relegated to pay-per-view events and the like. Satellite receivers don’t always work well with voice over IP (VoIP) service such as Vonage; VoIP users should check with DirecTV or their satellite installer regarding possible compatibility issues.
