Editorial Review

Ditch the VCR and get ready for the channels, the quality, and the convenience of Philips' DSR7000 combination DIRECTV receiver and 35-hour digital video recorder (DVR). Designed to be a second receiver in a dual-LNB DIRECTV system, this single box handles everything from satellite reception to digital audio/video recording. You'll even be able to pause live TV whenever you wish. Required for use are a television, a satellite-dish antenna (which should be properly mounted before you connect the DVR), and a standard analog phone line. All other requisite cabling and accessories are right in the box.Read more

Features

• Combination dual-tuner DIRECTV satellite receiver and 35-hour DVR
• Enjoy over 255 channels and never miss your favorite shows again
• Pause, rewind, slow down, or skip to replay live television programs; watch one program while recording another
• Season Pass automatically records every episode of your favorite shows
• WishList finds and records programs that match your interests

DirectTiVo is Crippled - Not fully enabled
I've had 6 Tivos but up until now, they have all been freestanding (TiVo1 and TiVo2) units. I switched to satellite about a year ago and was thrilled to find that DirecTV was offering Tivos.....Until I brought mine home. What they DON'T tell you is that DirecTV TiVo is designed and built for DirecTV only. It DOES NOT record cable or over the air broadcasts, it DOES NOT support networking (a fantastic feature for getting your schedule via Internet and sharing shows between multiple TiVos in a household) and, because it doesn't support networking, it also doesn't support the Home Media Option (which allows you to stream audio and images from your PC to your TiVo). It also doesn't support web based scheduling requests or the soon to be released TiVo-to-Go. These are all features that are central to the TiVo culture and I'm amazed that DirecTV has crippled their version of the TiVo service. I'd happily pay out the few bucks a month to add a DirecTV unit to my TiVo subscription, but DirecTV doesn't allow for it.
Once you get one you will wonder how you went without
We just got this through DirecTV and already are trying to figure out how we did without it.The set up is a snap, and I have found that the picture quality actually improved!While my picture was always good, this receiver actually seems to improve it to near HD level.
Great idea - dual receivers - drops second line repeatedly
Well, at first this product was great.Dual receivers worked with my multi-switch and i was able to watch one show while recording another.

Non Functional with Optimum Online or DirectTV Satellite
Bought this hoping to use it with either Cable or Satellite. Unfortunately it relies on TV GUIDE downloads to function. These are not offered by either Optimum Cable OR by DirectTV Satellite (or indeed any other Satellite.) Sony refused to accept a return. We are left with a poor quality DVD Recorder which half the time fails to accept recordable DVD disks. I would recommend instead the new TIVO High Def Recorder - available direct from [...]

Well... It has its few quirks and slight problems, but...
I had the same problem that alot of people here had/have, where the remote works fine and then after 2-4 weeks suddenly gets sluggish and makes you want to throw it and the tivo through a window. I even called Humax to get a replacement remote, and they were supposed to send one out but never did...
DVR functions don't work
This works fine as a TiVO and integrated DVD player, but the DVR functions do not work correctly on my unit.DVDs recorded on this unit won't always play back on other DVD players.When I asked customer support what brand players are compatible, they said "I don't know."
Easy and perfect for TiVo'ers who never want to delete those special episodes
I've had this unit for almost 2 years and it has been fantastic. As a long-time TiVo user, I often filled up my Tivo with shows (save-until-I-delete) that I didn't really want to delete. With this device I simply burn the shows I want to keep to DVD and then delete them off the Tivo. The DVD-burning is INCREDIBLY easy. Tivo and Humax opted for super-simplicity over more complex burning features, and I for one am glad they did. The DVD burning has always performed quickly for me and you can watch/record other shows while you are burning.

Grossly Unreliable; Miserable Customer Service
My unit failed three days after installation.The machine locked up and rebooting did not correct the problem.ReplayTV's poor customer service exacerbated the experience.The representative was pleasant but lacked any technical expertise.Her supervisor was downright insolent.After considerable aggravation, I returned the unit.
ReplyTV 5000 Series
I have 5 of these and just ordered a 6th. It's changed the way we watch TV.The units are easy to set up and use and it's a joy to skip through the commercials with Commercial Advance which, unfortunately, is no longer offered on the 5500 series. Even so, it's a good machine and I highly recommend it.

Should've gone Tivo
...the first time. Very, very happy with my Tivo. The Tivo functionality, ease of use & tech support have all been great. ... Read more

Satisfactory but too slow.
This DVR works ok.But when it is recording, forget about changing channels.It is really really slow and takes like forever to even receive any remote clicks.
Can't compete with cable company hardware...
I enjoyed this unit while I had it, but it broke within 6 months and Tivo was not particularly helpful in replacing it.As a result, I have switched to the DVR offered by my cable company.
Absolutely The best thing ever
I have owned this tivo since march and I have not had 1 problem. The 80 hours is MORE than enough recording time. Everyone in my family uses this and loves it. The difference between tivo and other dvr's is the software. It is so much better. You can schedule recording anywhere where there is internet access and you can transfer shows from your tivo to your laptop or handheld device. ... Read more
