That's enough for me to cancel my delivery tomorrow. I'll just wait until they get a better box. I have a regular HD box from Pioneer, who is a brand I trust. Why don't they use a name brand DVR like they do their other boxes? Before getting this HD box, I had a regular digital box and it was also Pioneer.

I've had some problems with my SA8300 but nothing too bad. The worst is just that, every once in a while, I have to unplug it and re-establish the connection. That only happens once every few weeks, so it's not that big a deal. I think it more has to do with connection traffic rather than the box iteslf. I'm using hdmi from it to my 50" panasonic plasma and the picture makes the minor inconvenience worth it. The hd-dvr is pretty cool, too.
