And with the change to switched video tehcnology that many cable companies are making the Moxi has no support at all. The support from Digeo has been horrible also. No phone line, you have to coverse with them through a chat window. What a mistake it has been buying this thing. The Moxi has been nothing but a headache and I would toss it out the window if I didn't care about the $800 bucks I spent on it.

THEY claim that it's because MOXI sucks. THEY suck. This new box that they gave us is a POS. If I want to watch one thing and record another, I have to switch back and forth between tuners. The guide has advertising in it, which is really nice and classy, and the UI looks like crap. This coming fall, MOXI will be available as a Consumer Electronic DVR at stores like Best Buy. I'm so excited about that day I could just pee. I just had my MOXI box taken away from me today because ever since Time Warner took over from Adelphia, it has not worked right.

Software versions that use multicast tech like PPStream, Amazon's new unbox, and QuickTimes new unicast feature.
