No kidding. Been suffering w/ our HD DVR for a year & simply hate it.
Captions are screwball (16 steps to turn on / off!)
Menus are the craziest I've ever seen - completely unintuitive Sometimes the "forward 6 seconds" goes 6 sometimes 3 (or some # less than the expected time)
You can't program shows in the record settings if they're no scheduled shows (for instance- I can't record new "Shield" episodes if there aren't any playing for the next 2 weeks if I don't already have it set up).
POS.
Unfortunately we signed a 2 year & have 1 more to go & we were concerned about Tivo through DirecTV since their license was expiring & they weren't allowing upgrades.

The Dish PVR might not be that great (or bugfree), but you should see the Directv ones, they're hideous.
