Scrolling through the guide is not scrolling at all, it "pages".

Also found the playback feature is nowhere near as intuitive as the previous. Fast forwarding through commercials and hitting play used to jump you back a few seconds, now it starts immediately requiring you to rewind.

Finally, we couldn't turn the box off last night because it was recording..this was never a issue before.

Finally, finally....the interface just plain looks terrible.

Hate to complain so much about TV, we have many more important things, but it really bugs me that Metrocast is trying to sell this to us as an enhancement. That couldn't be farther from the truth, it's about money and advertising.

Someone didn't do their due diligence on this.

I agree on all counts. Especially aggravating is that you can no longer shut the box off to standby when it is set to record. So we can't use the single DVR remote to shut down the TV, cable box and the audio system all at once. Now we have to dig out the TV and audio remotes from storage to sit along side the DVR remote.
