I am also disappointed with Comcast all together. As you know, I have only been here for 4 weeks and have traded my DVR in twice for a "new" one. One problem I have is the size of the hard drive...and don't let me get started with some of the "technical support" I have talked to! I too am very disappointed with Comcast’s DVR.
