After you play with it, it's not too hard.  If you are used to the screen
for your cable or satelite it won't take too much adjustment.  You can mark
show you like or dislike (it's got little thumbs up, and thumbs down buttons
on the remote).
The down side is that the box does know what you watch.

sounds like something to look into.
i heard somewhere that these things would "learn" the
things you like to watch and catch a episode or a
movie that you had not even known was going to be on,
just in case you'd want it (ie: you program to watch
lots of john wayne movie, so it will catch a john
wayne that you personally did not even know about).
for that reason i would have thought it'd be a complex
machine.
