Box looks like it was designed in the '50s. Make it black and functional looking.
Widescreen guide
More disc space

I also want the ability to go to the end of the program I dvred. Sometimes there's something I want to see at the end of the program, but once the drv is finished it will have to start all over again to get to the end. The ff buton is just to dam slow.

I totally agree. I can't keep it from recording every single episode of Meercats that comes on, no matter if its new or repeats from years ago. Flower has been dead for going on 2 years and she is in every friggin episode I try to watch. (Umm... please not to judge my manlyness by my admission that I record Meercats)

Hi Schvidah, I freakin love that show, but your right Flowers, and Zaphod have been dead for a while, funny thing is I lost interest in the show when that happened.
Wacthing that show doesn't mean your not manly, quite the oppisite as far as I'm concerned.

I dvr The Sopranos on A&E, because HBSlow doesn't provide HD On Demand. I was watching one of my movie channels today, and in the info part they didn't even list who was in the dam movie.
The guide is such a joke! Whats next not even listing what yr the movie was made?





Who knew it was John T.

Bigger hard drive, and fix the "handshaking" hdmi issue with Samsung.

When are new boxes coming out?

Angry The Fios Guide Sucks Bigtime!

I know the guide isn't a DVR issue, but recording the info from the guide is.

Now they don't even tell you who's on The View.
If this is truly a TV Guide, why are their listings so insufficient?

I don't remember this being an issue before, but it is now.

I want the ability to pause, rewind, and ff between two channels when I'm DVRing a program!
I love the fact that they enabled the swap feature, but it needs more flexability while I'm recording another station.
