| macheske's Full Review: RCA DS5451RB DIRECTV System |
I bought the RCA DS5451RB based on others opinions since I had never had a satellite receiver personnaly. The installation was relatively simple even though I had never installed one before. I also added a multi-switch since my plan is to hook up 3 TVs to the dish. I find the product to be slightly hard to use based on what I think they could do. I like the on-screen guide but I hate to have to make all the changes necessary to rid the screen of the channels that I never watch. The way theat the off air antenna hooks into the receiver is nice. Overall, the product is good but I would like to see some improvements. The remote could control the VCR better, the on-screen guide could be easier to use and the menus could be more intuative. A good product that will probably be better in the next generation.
