Are there bugs? Sure. Are they dealbreakers that cause the system not to work? Not in my opinion.
I can still record, playback, watch TV, etc. Nothing is bad enough that is stops you from being able to use the system. It's mostly cosmetic and I'm sure it will be worked out in the next firmware update.

After reading my post, I agree I was a bit harsh, but didn't mean to be. I really tried to write down all the pros and cons to be fair. However, it looks like I came up with a bunch more cons at this point.
I agree there are no deal breakers, just a lot of annoyances. It is in pilot after all so it is wrong to fully judge it yet. That is why I said I like the potential of the system.
Not everyone here is an early adopter though, so a minor annoyance to you can really tick off someone else. There are no major bugs, all functions work, just with some rough edges.
Again, it is a pilot system, and is in beta. It just ticked me off because a lot of these bugs could have been fixed before the pilot. They happen with simple use of the features. I think they just wanted to put something out quickly, test in the wild, and update down the road. Optik was killing them.
So my advice stands, if you want a system that works as well as the Motorola, then wait a few months. If you can live with the minor bugs I stated, then jump in. I do think it will be a solid system one day, just not today. So you really have to make the judgement call on what you personally can tolerate.
As for the exit button. 3 different exit buttons depending on context is a nightmare. Live TV, Zoom, Clear? Wow that is some pretty Wacky design, and I can't see many non tech users loving that over a simple exit button.
