hmmm, looks like it's web enabled (under the coming soon section). Hopefully this paves the way for editing of pvr timers with a web interface or phone app. |
Believe you me, this is a very big priority for my team. We are rabid about supporting it.

Not out of the gate, but sooner than you might think.

I wouldn't say it's cobbled together. It's a box capable of very modern technology, but from what I understand there are some limitations in place because of agreements with arris. One of my goals is to convince people of the value of enabling many consumer devices as part of the customer experience.
