DirecTV DVR gets second software upgrade in a month

Apparently TiVo has spoiled us all with its polished, intuitive interface and recording software that actually records when you tell it to, because DirecTV has been receiving numerous complaints about bugs and poor feature implementation in its DirecTV DVR TiVo-replacement. Besides some reports about sporadic recording accuracy, users also seem to be unhappy with the fast-forwarding capability, which goes either too fast or too slow and doesn't auto rewind like TiVo when you ineveitably overshoot after a commercial break. DirecTV is attempting to fix some of these problems with a recent second software upgrade to the month-old product, admitting that not all of the features are as "intuitive" as they should be. Hmm, so maybe that $100 rebate they dangle to get you to pick the house brand DVR instead of a TiVo really isn't such a good deal after all...
