We had issues when we had to buy a new DVR also. If it's any consolation, they did get resolved and they're very helpful about it all. We've been running problem-free for a while.
Only thing is: you want to double check your to-do list now and then. Not a DirectTV problem, it's a problem with the programmers. They will now and then switch show times or run over/under and part of your show may not record. We had some random show record on Nickelodeon once when it should have been a Sponge Bob. And there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth! Not really, I just like to say that ;)

I've already discovered one of those programmer issues: Comedy Central lists each of the four daily airings of "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report" as "first run," so if you try "record series" it tapes all four of them every day. Instead, I have to set up a manual recording, VCR-style, by time and channel number.

The Colbert and Daily Show programmer problems exist with TiVO as well . . . I just let it record them and delete the "rerun" episodes as they build up every few days. Simpler than the VCR-type recording -- with TiVO, anyway ...
