For me, the DVR functionality is basically non-existent. Having to pay a third-party for channel programming is just lol. The UI too, it is one that a programmer thinks is peak, but any outside user sees era Windows 2000.

Those were the two killers; I know there was more but without /complete/ DVR functionality ootb, it’s doa for me.

Counter point: so it should automatically update every night when updates are available, and should have or migrate to an open standard at mfg EoL or from the factory.

It’s still the mfg fault, full stop.

I get the point

I mean I get the point you’re trying to make, but also maaaaybe don’t go that way too
