Re: What a waste of a feature....
If you don't have DirecTV, why so hung up on this? 
One good reason for doing this - forget the "REMOTE" moniker. The ability to browse the listings on a web page and schedule the event is far superior to ANY interface available using a remote control and set-top box.
I've been beta testing this for a couple of months, and I don't bother scheduling ANYTHING using the TV/STB interface. I go to the web page, browse around, find what I want, and schedule it. It works. And its far easier/faster/more convenient.
The fact that I can do this at any internet enabled site with a computer, or from a cell phone or PDA? Not features I'm going to use a lot - but very nice to have.
So - enjoy your DVR experience, and those of us who can do it using a web page (ReplayTV, DirecTV, TiVO) will enjoy ours (more!). |
