I had the R15 500 DVR for about a year and a half. I've had problems with it on several occasions, so a DTV CSR said she'd have a new one sent to me. I called today to see where my order was and was told it was still processing. The "new" DVR arrived at my house later that day. I'm not sure how they messed that up, but anyway...
On the bottom of the new receiver, there's a lovely sticker that says "Reconditioned." I called DTV and was told that they only send out refurbished models as replacements. There is no way to get a new DVR from DTV no matter how much trouble I have with all of the "reconditioned" DVRs that they send me. First of all, is that statement true?
Second, my old unit was the R15 500 and the new, ha, unit is an R15 300. Better, worse, or the same?
I just wondered if anyone had words of wisdom for me. I pay for their protection plan, so I find it highly offensive that they sent me a reconditioned unit, as if that should make me happy. It doesn't.
