rating: 0/5 by: Epinions Author loueloui - As far as receivers go this one is not bad. The RCAs are far better than the Philips models. However, most models perform about the same, and have the same features. More importantly consider the SERVICE. Directv has some of the most horrific...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author familyman2005 - What a shame that Microsoft decided to abandon support of Ultimate TV. I own 2 boxes, both purchased in 2001. Two months ago DirecTV incented me with an offer to give TiVo a shot, for free with a one-year service extension. I took the bait and it was...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author hvnly76 - For the life of me I can't figure out why Microsoft stopped making this product! It has all of the features that I was looking for in a DVR. What Microsoft has to say about this product: UltimateTV is digitally recorded television. It's what?...

RCA DWD490RE DIRECTV with UltimateTV: Was Better than Tivo, Not So Today

Tue, 12 Nov 2002 15:09:21 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author wytman - OK - at least the Tivo I have seen. I recently purchased my first home (yeah!!!) and the previous owner already had DirecTV. I was pretty fed up with digital cable - both the cost and the quality - which I found to be lacking. So, I knew I was heading...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author erazo - My wife and I are discriminating TV viewers, but our schedule required us to use our VCR to watch our favorite programs. However, when we switched from cable to DirecTV, our VCR+ features were no longer usable, and we had to go back to manual recording...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author dtoombs - It's a shame that epinions has buried the UltimateTV receivers in with all the other Satellite receivers, because this is truly a unique item. I purchased mine as soon as it was available, and I couldn't be happier! (I returned my Tivo within a week of...
