Sony SATHD300 DIRECTV HD Receiver w/ Dolby Digital Passthrough & Universal Remote Commander
Buggy, buggy, buggy
Don't buy this thing! <BR>I've been wrestling with one all day and will return it.  Here's a sampling of the problems:<BR>It has, for no obvious reason, frozen and restarted numerous times today.  <BR>The channel guide always defaults to showing all channels in the guide every time you press &quot;guide.&quot;  You cannot delete any channels from the guide although you can hide them.  Non-hidden channels are placed in a &quot;custom&quot; list.  Unfortunately, the custom list is accessed by pressing guide (showing all channels) then scrolling down a list to select custom - each and every time you press guide on the remote!  What genius thought of this?  You can't delete any channel and guide always selects all channels so your kids can get to everything.  There is a lock option to password protect channels but you can't lock a hidden channel!  Very bad design.  There's plenty more but you get the idea.<br />Don't buy this thing.  It isn't ready for prime time.
