Thats pretty darned sexist! Chest protrusions don't make one non-techno saavy. My wife easily handles up all of our DVRs, Vudu box, downloaded media, etc!
Stop assuming things BigReg. Would you call me a racist because I don't want to vote for Obama? I happen to not beleive in socialized medicine. About the topic, my wife works our HD DVR just fine, not all products are designed well. I am sure the 250HD is a great device, it just happens to be a lot more complicated than inserting a DVD. See my point? I challenge you to do a survey of 25 random women and 25 random men (between the age of 20 and 30) and ask them if they can tell you what "AVI" stands for. I love my wife, it just so happens she cannot use DVD shrink, thats all.
@kuado Agreed, bad assumption on my part. This type of device is likely targeted at technically savvy users at least set it up, beyond that point, I would hope that the user interface would be as easy to use as a DVR. So be the designated tech dude in your house (I'm sure that you are!) and rip the DVDs for other family members.

If I get it my wife will really get confused...
LOL I second that!
