Moxi might not be the worst thing to happen to a DVR, but it's certainly far from the best. I've had Moxi for about 1 1/2 years now, and I would happily trade it for a Tivo series III. Since one of the co-founders of Microsoft had his slimy mits all over it's UI, I can now blame MS for another "we'll-get-it-right-eventually" type product, albeit in a round-a-bout sort of way. While it's easy to embrace Moxi's ideals, the implementation is downright embarassing, right down to the clunky channel guide. If anyone from Digeo (the makers of Moxi) is reading this, please understand one thing: the benefit of having a channel guide at your disposal, is to be able to not only see what you are watching now, but plan to watch in the future, no matter the channel. (Read: Your UI sucks!). That is all.
