Directv HR24-500 Receiver

This is a good product if you have or planning to have Directv service. I will get this item due to the fact the HD quality is great and it gives you the option to record all of your favorite shows and you never have to worry about missing any of them. Even if you forget to set your DVR before you leave the house you can set it up from your cell phone. This is a good investment.

Awesome DVR Receiver. Best one I have owned so far. Has the fastest channel changing I have seen to date. This model, the HR24-500 has a built-in cooling fan and 2 audio outputs (Coaxial & Optical). The cooling fan is wisper quiet. I couldn't be happier. Be prepared to enter into a 2 year lease period after purchasing one. If you want one of these then don't order it from Directv. They can't promise you which one you will get. Directv will send you a used refurbished DVR of their choosing.

This unit is the best receiver that Directv has sold (leased) to date. The look is sleek and responds well using the remote control

Good product as expected from Directv. This was an upgrade to an older Panasonic receiver which was slow and hard to navigate. The newer Directv receivers are easy to run and very user friendly. The only problem is that when I called to activate the receiver the Directv associates didnt really know the correct settings that were required for my installation. This was not a big deal because I do my own installs but to someone not familiar with satellite systems this might pose a problem. A service call would probably be necessary. Overall great product, great picture with ease of use.

Works great!
I was a Dishnetwork customer for 8 years and decided to switch to DirecTV due to DTV has better soccer coverage. It appeared that DTV has better equipment and software (Whole-Home DVR service).
