As a Los Angeles Comcast subscriber, I have a Moxi box, and I think they need to improve the user interface if they want it to be a competitive product. It's a bit clunky to use. For instance, if you want to see what shows are on this evening, it will only display that info. for one channel at a time -- as opposed to the much more convenient navigable spreadsheet that my old box used to use (which allowed one to view several channels over a multi-hour time period all one one screen, and that allowed you to scroll down that screen to see more channels). It also doesn't allow you the option of picking and setting your favorite channels; instead, it sets them for you, based on your viewing options, which is annoying. It also does not offer slow-motion. And there are several other ways in which it could be better designed.
Fortunately, because of the switch to Time-Warner, I now have the option of replacing the Moxi box with another DVR.
