questions on D* DVR

[pbarca]

I have a E* 522 DVR. Does anyone know the difference between D* and E*'s DVR's? like 100hrs vs 70hrs. does the D* feed a 2nd room like the 522? My contract is up with E* and I am looking around for a comparison of features between the two DVR's.

Thanks

The D* has multiple output ports, but you cannot watch different programs through different outputs at the same time.

Imagine a 522 that is in Single Mode, but doesn't crash and is upgradable by the user.

That's pretty much what you'll get.

I didn't say TiVo.

And while the new R15 is rather buggy, it's less buggy than the E* 522.

My friends Dish 625 is BETTER than my R15, but not my Directivo.

The R15 is worse so far than a Dish DVR.

DirecTivo bugs? I have been a heavy user for almost a year and have not found one yet.

Directivo Bugs? Yes

R15 Bugs? Yes

Directivo Location - Main Room

R15 Location - Game Room

If the units cost the same price why do you get the R15 & put it in the basement? Why not just get a Tivo & not have to worry about where it goes?

Well an update is due out for the R15 by the end of this week, hopefully that will fix some of the bugs, if it does...up comes the R15, (our basement is a game room by the way) in any case ive been to two best buys and a circuit city, none of them have the R10 anymore, and I auctually ordered a DVR expecting an R10, when the installer came this is what I got.
