The SD Dtivo that is in my kids room has died a quick death. Directv is replacing it under the PP with a R15-300. Since I never really paid attention to this model is there anything that I should be concerned about? Been a madhouse here with the kids not having their TV in the playroom and really nervous about the unit.

The R15-300 is a nice, solid DVR. Don't believe any of those negative postings/reviews if they are older than 3 months. The software on this DVR has been vastly improved over the past year or two and you may not even find the few bugs that are left...

thanks for the vote of confidence. One way or the other I will find out soon, my teenager will let me know.

The R15-300 is slightly smaller than the other R15s.

No, the R15/R16s do not support external drives. The R22 does, as it uses the same hardware as the HR2x series.
