To Reiterate: It's Garbage
There's not much that I can add to these reviews that hasn't already been said. This is a piece of garbage, flawed from the ground up - the design of the interface and the features that actually do work is just as awful as the bugs that plague the software. Overall this DVR struck me as a prototype or a product mock-up - I am astounded that this device would actually be sold to consumers. <br /> <br />I'm not sure what the impulse was behind the couple of favorable reviews here. I can only imagine that if this was someone's first experience with a DVR, they might be more forgiving and assume that all the problems in this unit are inherent in DVRs in general. THEY ARE NOT! This is a bad, poorly designed product. That's not an opinion. It is difficult to use where other units are simple and it doesn't work where other units do. You can't get less subjective than that.
