DVR's

Did the "self install" of new DVR box today.
(clueless installer - me - goofed and hooked up the wrong damn cable, but got that straightend out during basic step by step troubleshooting)

Comcast - DVR

Back home, we use Charter DVR aka "Moxi"

Inital reactions

Charter interface is superior
Multi-dimensional graphics

Horizontal for catagories such as channels, recorded/recording selections, then vertical for sub-sets and horizontal again for detail choices and deeper info.

Comcast seems to be "flatter" more like a spreadsheet, and search functions "clunkier"

With both, the "instant recall" feature is killer.
