Hands-on user review of the R15 DirecTV Plus DVR

By Peter Rojas

So DirecTV is offering their own homegrown alternative to TiVo now, but is it any good? A user over at TiVoCommunity.com got his hands on the new R15 DirecTV Plus DVR and just posted up a review with lots of detail (we hope someone else besides us notes the irony of this).  Sounds like a capable, solidly built substitute for a DirecTiVo (at least a non-HD DirecTiVo), but otherwise it's not a huge leap forward for digital video recorders.
