Well, I've spent my first evening with my Time Warner HD DVR. Two things:
- The HD is beautiful. I had to calibrate my 1080i mode since I've never really used it.
- The DVR...SUCKS. Compared to Tivo, it is crap. I would rather have standard definition and the wonderfully intuitive interface of Tivo than HD with this crap.
I'm going to make a stab at resurrecting the Tivo, using the Time Warner DVR as an interim solution. If that doesn't work, I'll put my efforts into the HTPC where I have more control over the interface.
I'll post more on my findings as I use the DVR more.
