R15-300 vs 500

My long lived faithful R15-300 died this week. went into constant re-boot mode. DTV sent me a 500 replacement. Is there any idiosyncrasy's to the 500 that I should know about?

My two examples (both refurbs) have worked great for a year and a half or so now.

I think all the R15's are suffering from a series link problem.But I just highlight the program in the guide and press the R button or while I'm watching the program push the R button on the remote once.Works better than my VCR did.;)

No such problems here. Both my R15's do Series Links just fine(but my R15-500 died yesterday(it was my oldest DVR)-tech replaced with R16 this morning).
My -500 is almost three years old, still doing well.

Do not have that problem either. Works great with SL.....:)

So all your series links will update OK for First Runs Only?.:confused:

The only series link I've seen so far that does this correctly is my R22-100 but that's because it has the First Air Date info in the guide like the HRs.
