In the old days yes a T.V. was very simple to operate but with no hor or vert lines untrue, first of all that is caused by ingress which is when signals leak into an improperly connected or damaged coaxial line. Also DVR all of these boxes now are basically computers what does heat do to components in a computer, case in point do you place your tv on top of said box or in an inclosed space or with dvd vcrs on top all these things are bad, Yes the older DVRs not so good, but with newer technology comes kinks so yes I hope sooner than l8r they are worked out as well. I howerever may just be very lucky because I don't have as many problems as others I talk to and I use Cox. As far as the techs there can't say because I have had to contact them maybe two times in well about eight years I guess. So as for me I am happy and feel sorry for those of you who are not and if I was you I would issue my concerns to your provider and see what thier response is. Well that was just my two cents worth and it was interesting reading what you all had to say thx for your time and have a good one. :) Ok in response to alot of what I’m reading, first any techie knows the complexity @ which a cable box must go through to process the multitude of signals being sent.

All users keep calling about units rebooting themselves. Great product.

We have it also and hate it. We have not been getting any information on our channels, and it takes 10 seconds for the guide menu to come up. No cable is better than Time Warner.
