Well, right now I would just like to get a picture. After 2 1/2 years with TiVo no problems, and less than a week with a Scientific America "piece of blank" box, the hard drive failed on the new box tonight. It just keeps trying to reboot, to no effect.

Our wonderful cable company is supposed to come between 4-6 Friday, so I will have to take off work early.

That, and the interface on the new system is complete crap compared to TiVo. It's barely functional. Took me hours to figure how to record about half the programs I had set up on TiVo... now that time is all wasted.

Frankly I'm pretty disgusted.
