Worst product Ive ever Used.
Pros
Flashing blue light is pretty.
Cons
Bugs and glitches galore. Poor interface and usability.
Recommended it?
No
This is not hyperbole. Honestly, this is the worst piece of electronics Ive ever owned. Because of the contracts involved there is no way to return it either, avoid this at all costs.
The bugs are too numerous to list, and new ones seem to appear each month. It does not record series as programmed, dual tuner ability (useful to record a show and watch another) seems to dropout occasionally for no apparent reason, scheduled records get dropped with no warning, etc.
There are a number of problems with the interface that anyone with prior DVR experience will notice. Generally speaking it is clunky (extra buttons to press, even to view program guide), non-intuitive (deleting a manually recorded series is near impossible) and sometimes invasive (a non-removable bulletin appears 5 minutes before the DVR must change channels, ruining the last bit of whatever you are currently watching). These however are minor compared to the glitches that prevent the product from performing its basic functions as advertised.
