Maybe Motorola should be pressuring operators and software developers to write an operating system that showcases everything the DVR's can do. My DCX3400 with 320 GB hard drive is a nice piece of equipment, but it's running such a shitty operating system. It's fully capeable of a 16:9 HD guide with transparancies and alpha blending, but were stuck with this DOS looking program from Comcast.
Seriously, it's like installing Windows 3.1 on a Core 2 Duo with 2GB of RAM. What the hell is the point? I can't believe these guide programmers are completely OBLIVIOUS to Windows Media Center, Boxee, Apple TV, XBOX 360, PS3, WII, the I Phone and all the other advanced UI devices out there. You mean to tell me not ONE employee of Rovi or Comcast has ever seen an XBOX 360 Dashboard? They never seen Aero in Windows Vista or Windows 7? They never used an Apple product? That just CANT be the case. Let these developers out of their jail cells already! They are living in the late 80's!
