I'm wondering if it's the luck of the draw with the hardware or if I'm just so used to the bugs that I don't even notice anymore.
The last real issue that I can say I noticed is last October when the system didn't update the time properly after daylight savings time which I thought was a little absurd but definitely wasn't a deal breaker.

The quick list of things that pissed me off about gateway is:
1) having to aim the remote with military sniper precision to get it to do anything
2) how the guide would freeze up for a few seconds while scrolling through screens
3) not being able to view my pvr recordings in a chronological order
4) the remote not having an exit button
5) while watching pvr recordings, sometimes the ffwd button wouldn't work until after turning off the machine, and restarting the show
Mostly a bunch of minor annoyances that snowballed into rage. For $120/mo plus the $15/mo to pay for the system, I kind of expected equipment that worked 29.5/30 days. And then to top it off, calling to get it figured out was just such a waste of my time.
