Cheese Man might be interested in the factory-renewed units.

Our DVR is SO HORRIBLE. Fracking Time Warner-supplied piece of dog shyte. It takes 1-2 seconds to respond to button pushes (if it responds at all), it deletes stuff we want to save, saves stuff we want to delete, doesn't turn itself on to record programs, doesn't do a "quick rewind" when you press play while you're fast forwarding through commercials (i.e. to get it to the actual start of the program), doesn't like to record "non-rerun" shows, and if we push fast forward once sometimes it will completely spaz out and "forward" the show to the beginning when you press play again (which is REALLY annoying when you're watching a long program like the Olympic Opening Ceremony).

I hate you Time Warner, a company who "upgraded" our box to this piece of crap and then had the audacity to make us purchase a cable to actually plug it into the television. (Not to mention how they told us it was $10 extra for HD.... which is a lie. It is $10 for them to SEND HD. But it's an EXTRA $10 for us to RECEIVE the HD signal. I am not kidding you.)
