Hunk of Junk - Don't waste your money.
I just tried to post this review on Circuit City (that's where I purchased it).  But it won't let me.  Hmmm... <br /> <br />I've been with Directv for about 2 years.  My family and I had the Directv w/ Tivo unit (R10) during that time.  It really is great having a DVR. <br /> <br />So we decided to add another DVR in the kitchen and purchased this unit.  We read the online reviews and thought it can't really be THAT BAD.  So what if it isn't Tivo.  Its a DVR and will do what we need it do. <br /> <br />Yes, it is THAT BAD.  I was shocked at how hard it is to work.  Everyone is my family is a technology buff/geek/expert.  But this unit is so cumbersome to get around, let alone set up a season pass.  The menu functions are not user intuitive, its slow.  I thought it was just this unit so we returned it for a second one.  Nope, they all operate at a snails pace.  This was a waste of time and money.  Had I really listened to these other customer reviews we would have been spared much frustration. <br /> <br />The moral of the story is - don't waste your time and money on this HUNK OF JUNK.  Just get a Tivo.  Your family will thank you for it.
