Can't use effectively with a cable box
First off, I love using this product.  However, one thing they neglect to tell you is that if you use a cable box (whether with regular cable or digital) that you won't be able to use the timer recording feature unless you set your cable box to the one channel you want to tape while you're gone - meaning, if you're on vacation for a week, there better only be 1 channel you want to tape.  This is incredibly limiting.
