RCA DIRECTV System DRD420RE

I got the new direct tv plus when my old samsung (with the black controller) broke after I dropped it. This was the replacement, I finally called up saying i couldn't take it any more, it would randomly not record shows, randomly record half a show,...

What a receiver. I have two dvr's one hd dvr other philips and I have this rca receiver. My wife wanted me to trade it in for a directv d10 receiver. I refused. Once I upgraded toan hd dvr I put my regular dvr in my room and put my rca receiver in my...

This is the 2nd RCA box I have been through in the last 9 months. Granted it is not the most [costly] one around, so I guess you get what you pay for these days. I would recommend getting a midrange (price) of one of RCA's competitors products. It...

I purchased this receiver and have been thru 3 of them. There is always a new problem. Turns itself off, searches for signal in the middle of a program, etc. I have had nothing but problems with RCA products including my new VCR that lasted about 6...

I've had two of these RCA 420RE's for about 18 months now and have only found one problem with them. The thing I found was that the remote works best with fresh batteries. When the batteries start going down some buttons may not work. I find the...

My experience with the DRD420RE has been the same as most others here - disappointing. We purchased two boxes with our original installation of DIRECTV about a year and a half ago. The Hughes HIRD-E25 went in the family room and the RCA DRD420RE in...

Online menus are ponderous to use. What can be done with a single click on an old Hughes receiver can take 15 clicks on the RE. Clutter menus, filled with redundancies, confusing format and the "interactive format" designed for nothing more than...

I had Directv since it first came out. I bought this receiver for an extra room and I love this one better than the other one I have. The features are great including the interactive features that give you instant sports, weather, news and program...

I have two RCA receivers in my house. The first one started to have problems after a few months - the remote went out and the reception freezes and pixelizes frequently. DirectTV has a replacement "program" cause they have been getting a ton of calls...
