I think it offers a lot, for the price. It has good content, lots of on-demand options and the 50 hours of free recording are fine for me. But I have lots of loading issues. And I recorded a preseason game, that kept replaying on NFL Network but, when I tried to watch the recording, it was supposedly blacked out in my area. And I was watching a show that I had recorded and, right in the middle of an interview, the screen went black, with no sound. When I fast forwarded it, I could see the interview in the small screen. 20 minutes of the 60 minute show were like that! And the fact that you can't fast forward through commercials, when you're behind, is infuriating. I also hate that it no longer works with VPNs. That sucks because when I'm in my second home(Madagascar) I like to still be able to see my favorite MSNBC shows. For some reason, you're not allowed to watch American broadcasts there. I guess I won't be able to keep it, when I move there. For all the bad, there is still a lot of good.
