ReplayTV 2020 Digital Video Recorder
Here's what you need to know about the Replay TV
First, the good news:<br />* No question: this is the future. I'm not a TV guy (watch maybe 4 hours/month), yet already I've found myself skipping through commercials, creating a Telletubbies theme for my daughter, and discovering (good) shows that I'd have missd otherwise.<br />* The company is clearly committed to its customers. I've had to call customer support; the folks were friendly and helpful. The set-up and user interface are clearly improving, and the program guide is easy to use.<br />* As always, ...is a great place to buy this-- great price, and super-fast delivery.<br />Now for the rest of the story.<br />* Set-up is simple enough... if you're comfortable with, say, setting up a fax machine. <br />* Usability is very good, but not quite excellent. I frequently find myself trying to remember the difference between \\"Guide\\" and \\"Menu,\\" or \\"Input\\" and (or just buy a wireless jack here.)<br />In all, this is a great \\"version 2\\" product, where version 3 will be truly excellent. I highly, highly recommend it... but know that the next generation will smooth out those last few rough edges. Live a little and buy it now (really!)... it's fun to be a bit ahead of the curve.
