  • R15-500 upgrade?

    Good morning all! :-)

    Wanting to take a look at what would be the best upgrade path from R15-500... Having a SAT stream issue with the latest software upgrade and it looks like I may just replace the receiver and go a different route....

    Coming from the Directv DVR world, I have had a LOT of good luck with this unit... The IDE drive is fine and will probably move the drive to a different unit..

    What would be a good model to move to (standard definition) out of the R15? Being unfamiliar with the Tivo world, would there be any additional cost per month to go with a Tivo vs. Directv DVR?

    Thanks in advance... :-)

    The TiVo service for DirecTV TiVos costs the same per month as your current unit - they're both just under the umbrella of "DVR Service" for DirecTV.

    But that drive won't work in a TiVo, at least not without reformatting.

    If you're looking for a DirecTV TiVo, see the units here:

      Thanks for the quick reply! :-)

      Looks like the software updated on its own last night to 1169. I should be all set (or at least until the next software update push)... :-)

      Will definitely keep this place in mind....
