Good evening! New member here, 11 year D* customer. I presently have an R10 that has performed great till the December follies w/D*. Not knowing that it was not a unit problem, I called D*, discussed the probs (reboots), and they sent an exchange unit. Of course it was an R15-300. Not to complain about the discussion, but was never told that it wouldn't be an R10.
Now my ??s:
My son, who installed these things for awhile, likes the R15 in many ways, but says there are some diffs (which I expect). One I'm wondering about is whether you can switch between tuners while watching D*. He doesn't think so, and there is nothing in the manual about it.
There seems to be a great deal of dislike (!!!) for the R15 and, I guess, also a lot of those who haven't had any or many problems. I'm thinking I will hook up the "new" one and test drive it. Compare and like or dislike. Has anybody had any probs w/D* reconnecting the old unit if the exchange is not what was expected??
Sorry for rambling, will probably think of other ?s after a test. Thanks in advance for your answers.
Gerry
