Both my DVR receivers are the R16-300. Don't know if they're the latest and/or the greatest, but they work as intended for us....we,too are full timers and have had our account for over 10 years. They seem to monitor our account and advise if there is a better equipment choice for us. They will overnight equipment exchange to wherever you might be. The only hassle we've experienced is with DNS coverage. We usually plan some sort of loose itinerary for the year. If we plan on most of our time on the east coast, we'd prefer the east coast feed and vise versa. However, to change coastal feeds, they wanted us to terminate our existing account and come back as a new customer. That seemed like a big to do over nothing...just flip the damn switch!....that's the main reason we purchased the front DVR because in Florida, all the west coast shows begin at 10PM.....Dennis
