    As time goes by I am getting very comfortable with the feature like Other Showings and the quick record from the guide.

    I am having a little regret but I feel I did not have much in the way of options right now. I think in a few months there will be a lot of changes. If you do not feel you have to switch over right now I would recommend holding off and take a look at the new technology coming out.
