Direc tivo problems..need some feedback

[lern4483]

I just added Direc to my existing dish sevice. I already have dish dvr..
Its(dish dvr) is very easy and quiet....Im dissapointed in how noisy the samsung direc dvr is..

To those of you whom have it, is it suppose to be noisy??? The fan makes serious noise.
Also, the menu is extremly slow. When i bring up the guide it takes 5 seconds to appear...
I reset the unit. Checked phone conections...Still the guide is lagging..
i did speak to direc. Their only answer is to send a tech over. Possibly replace it....

Any advice or feedback is appreciated..

Thank you,
Joel

I just switched from E* last week. The RCA DVR80 is just as quiet as my 508 was. The Grid Guide is VERY slow- embarrasingly slow. But the Tivo Guide is much faster, and better overall IMO. To switch to it, bring the guide up and hit "info".
