Extremely disappointing! We can't switch back and forth between tuners, can have an automatic "wish list", no suggestions, every time I use thesystem I realize something else that I hate about the system. It is a 10 year step in the wrong direction from what I LOVED about Tivo. Don't even get me started with my opinion on the clumsy remote... what ergonomic wiz designed this thing? I am returning the whole system and going back to my Tivo with less HD channels. What good is HD if you have to fight to watch it? Instead of convincing friends to go DirecTv and Tivo, I will tell them to stay away?stay very away! Wow, I just had the new DirecTV HR21 installed… in summary, what a piece of poor engineering.
