I agree with what you are saying, but how early is early? It's been over 1 year since it launched, and still has bugs like random reboots, you do not subscribe messages, and missed recordings.

When I got the system last July I rolled with the punches. However, I think a year is sufficient to make the product rock solid. Maybe I ask for too much.

It just appears to me that they don't sufficiently test anything with this system. They should have waited, but I am sure the margin loss to Telus forced the executive to rush.

Anyways, as I said, I like the system overall. However, I have given up on it being anything more than a slight above average media centre. Better than Telus but not something I overly suggest to friends to get.
