Replay Networks 2004 Digital Video Recorder
Changes everything about TV, but has some very annoying bugs
This product truly changes the way you watch television. But the first generation bugs are terribly annoying. For example: (1) Anytime the service updates the list of channels in your channel guide (for example, when the  cable network adds a new channel), all of your personal channel settings  (which channels are on/off/etc.) are lost. Also, (2) I've noticed that the  video signal is negatively affected -- I get occasional thin black lines.  Finally, (3) the thing is so hot it's a danger to small children. Honestly!  You can fry eggs on the top of this thing. Despite all these bugs, and  others I haven't mentioned, I still enjoy using my ReplayTV. It totally  changed the way I watch TV.
