    "Nice features - some small bugs"

    by robrapp on March 22, 2005

    Pros: Convenient, easy to use with nice tv guide system

    Cons: some small bugs with display and crashing

    Summary: Great overall. I didn't expect it to work so well but I could schedule all my shows and it records even if Media Center is not actively running. Even controls my Voom satelite perfectly. Setup was simple. I did find that it has some small bugs with display. For some reason I couldn't see the tv picture when ever I fast forwarded or upped the volume until the on screen display timed out. Then the picture would come back. It's intermittent and has seemed to work fine for the past few days. I also agree with another review on this site that the music menu system is confusing but my 2000+ songs were located and displayed correctly. My system is a Sony VAIO.

    I talked to Direct TV this morning and they told me the USB ports do not work at this time. They are meant for "Future" applications. How do we hook the Direct TV box into the computer??
