ReplayTV 3060 Digital Video Recorder
Almost perfect....
An open letter to the Replay folks....<br />The unit is almost perfect. In fact it's GREAT.<br />Here are three changes that would be siginificant:<br />1) Build in the ability to connect for updates through a lan connection for people with high-speed internet connections.  The dial-up method is S-L-O-W.<br />2) Eliminate or diminsh the three second delay when changing channels.  This functionally prevents surfing.<br />3) Remote control should have backlights for viewability in a dark room (especially considering the myriad of buttons.)<br />To all: You shouldn't let these points dissuade you from buying.  As mentioned, the unit is GREAT and the tech support is one of the best groups I've ever run into. And, I don;t know if the competitors units are any better with respect to the above mentioned points.<br />Good luck.
