When we moved to a small rural town, we discovered that cable service was not available, and our only choice was between Directv or Dish. We chose the Directv and purchased the receiver and dish set from RCA. So far we have been less than thrilled with the product. The remote control lasted about three weeks and then about half of the buttons went dead. But even before it died, it was difficult to use. Besides that, the people at Directv keep calling us on a regular basis to sell us a more expensive package, which we don’t want, but they keep on calling anyway. I think, if I had it to do over again, I would’ve gone with Dish instead.

What a receiver. I have two dvr’s one hd dvr other philips and I have this rca receiver. My wife wanted me to trade it in for a directv d10 receiver. I refused. Once I upgraded toan hd dvr I put my regular dvr in my room and put my rca receiver in my boy’s room. I even purchased a second one for my girl’s room. My kids have directv,I have directv,we are happy. Thank goodness for rca and directv.

I had Directv since it first came out. I bought this receiver for an extra room and I love this one better than the other one I have. The features are great including the interactive features that give you instant sports, weather, news and program lineup on certain channels. You can even shop for books at…and buy stuff with your remote at shop nbc! The scout is great to find programming for you and it is ready for Directv new satellite technology that gives you local channels with the banner fully ready to give a program description unlike older models with the local channels. Fetch gives you instant access to menu features and the remote works for everything! This is a must buy!

This system is ideal for families of four or more. Especially those with younger kids who like to have a tv to play video games on. At the same time Dad can watch sports and in another room Mom can watch Home and Garden!
