All PVR

Phillip Swan over at TVPredictions.com says that DirecTV’s HD DVR has a bunch of bugs and does not recommend it.

Since I have cable, I don’t know much about DirecTV’s offerings, especially their HD DVR. But this box also got some bad user reviews from CNet’s readers. CNet’s official review, however, ranks it as an 8.1.

Swan says that DirecTV’s new HD DVR has “more bugs than a hot summer night in Mississippi.” After numerous reboots, and recording glitches, DirecTV swapped the box with a new one and he had the same problems.

His conclusion: “DIRECTV’s HD DVR is not ready for primetime.”

DirecTV, meanwhile, has issued a response via CNet to the growing number of customer complaints.
