DirecTV HD DVR Sucks

Like everybody else that has the DirecTV HD DVR I hate it. My DirecTivo is so much nicer. The DirecTV HD DVR menu system makes no sense, and it’s hard to find things you are looking for. The worst thing though it that is just misses things all the time, and you have to reboot it at least once a week or it will lock up and wont record anything either. As soon as DirecTV comes out with something better I am getting it. They made up with Tivo and they just recently bought Replay TV, so I am hoping they use one of them to improve their crappy DVR.

Over the weekend I downloaded an episode of Numb3rs that the crappy DVR missed. We watched it streaming to the XBox. The new upgrade to the XBox 360 is super cool. It played the the file no problem and looked really good. So then I installed Ted. Ted stands for torrent episode downloader. You can subscribe to shows and it will go out and look for new episodes and automatically downloads them. With Ted and the XBox 360, I might have a good work around for my crappy DVR. We will see how it works.

    Read the article! Man I know what you mean, there’s nothing worse than bad DVR…except a bad HD DVR. I may seem biased as a DISH customer, but I was a satisfied customer for four years before I ever stared working at one of their call centers. I know DISH offers the most HD in the industry, and qualified customers can even get their regular HD package for free with the HD Free For Life promotion, which is offered on all regular channel packages (America’s Top 120 and above), while DirecTV only offers their free HD on their upper tier programming packs, which can cost up to 114.99 a month!
