If their big push is to make the UI quicker to navigate, then just allow better customization. Letting users group their favorite channels in the order they want would help. I've seen the widgets they are planning for this box. The guy in the demo video used the touchpad and cursor to select icons on a screen with about 10 widget icons. A customizable list would be faster.

Plus, how many home theater enthusiasts do you know that actually use the remote that comes with their equipment instead of a good universal remote?

What's the difference? SciFi channel is "Beyond" hope!

This company will not last much longer if they don't drastically change their strategy. They have to begin integrating their technology with pay-TV companies like Comcast, Dish Network, and Direct TV. Those people who are unwilling to pay for cable will not likely pay a monthly fee for electronic programing guide data for their DVR.

I have Dish Network, and I'm certain that many other subscribers like me would be happy to have a Dish Network DVR with integrated Tivo technology, but there's no way I would every waste my time setting up a Tivo box to record from a non-DVR Dish Network Box.

...Also, if they believe themselves to be one of the best STB companies, why didn't they produce a stripped down digital transition box with no DVR that all of these OTA people could buy with a coupon. That was a huge opportunity to increase their customer base.
