i got it about a week ago and it's cool. there is feature you don't have that you may have had with time warner. that is if you switched from them. I did. anyway, you don't have a reminder function for shows. you actually have to use your brain and remember it's coming on. you can record 4 shows at once, but you can't record 2 hd programs. that sucks, but you can set the dvr from a computer if you're away from home. i'm kinda feeling it out, but so far it's cool. i torrent and haven't had a problem. just use peer guardian.
