[QUOTE="KenMasters, post: 208408, member: 517"] I don't know what makes it so complicated, maybe the fact that every service provider has different requirements of the hardware, but cable and satellite PVRs are buggy no matter where you are. I have a Samsung PVR and it's constantly giving problems. Every update fixes some problems but introduces new ones. Freezing, unresponsiveness and missed recordings are constant issues. I reboot the thing once or twice a week (not to mention the fact that I have to either switch off the TV or cable box and then switch it back on after I've changed the input on the TV due to HDCP issues). Then there's the reliability, these things keep on breaking down. I have honestly lost count on how many I have swapped out. At least my cable provider offers excellent service. If I need a new box I just phone and order it and they drop it off, then I just mail back the old one, postage paid (of course sometimes the refurbished model is stuffed out the box also). [/QUOTE]
