The search feature was so much better with the HDTIVO,or I should say easier.It almost reminds me of my old ULTIMAT TV unit.Too many buttons to press!!!Theres got to be a shortcut?Whers all the hacks like the tivos have?All the nerds must have TIVOS still.i must admit I do miss the bloop bloop bloop noises,i'll turn to the hr10-250 once in a while just to hear them noises!
