Sorry Joel,
I dropped off line before I saw your post.

Chances are they were all in the stream by then, I hope you went ahead and tried it.

I got to ask what magic is there left to shove in one of their DVR's?

Must be getting hard to think of new things to stick in there which will make things better!

Let me give them some ideas:

Fix MediaShare so it properly works with DNLA compliant servers (and supports MPEG4 playback with various containers).

Add Slacker Radio. Pandora is great and all, but after a bit, I can predict what song will be next.

Add Netflix playback (yea, yea it'll compete with their VOD offerings. Whatever, get over it.)

If you have more than 1 DVR on your network, they work as one. Record a show and the collective will figure out which tuner on which DVR who has the most disk space will record the show. Regardless of which receiver you ask the show to be recorded from.

Let us add external storage +2TB. Making adding a RAID array easier (it's a real PITA now, but do-able).

Let us save the "personality" of the DVR off to a USB stick (favorite channels, record to-do lists) so that when my DVR dies, I can replace the settings (but not necessarily the shows) quickly and don't have to spend days getting it back in order.

That outta be good list to get started with.

Locked up hr700 23. Hit back arrow in guide. Blank screen where guide info goes. Remote not responsive. I had to red button reset.

Make the EHD work like Dish's do and just store content and not take over the DVR OS. That has to be (among) the silliest thing ever.
