I built a backend and a few frontends for my brothers house. I think it
took his 5 year old son about 2 mins to figure out that this thing lets
him go forward and backward and pause his shows. All of a sudden all
other tv was... well.... just plain annoying. After that the next time
it was on digital cable it took him another couple of mins to figure out
how to get the tv to dvi input and how to boot the frontend and navagate
the remote. Just before I left from my visit that week I walked over and
realized he already knew how to make playlists and his little sister and
him were on a sponge bob and jojo circus marathon. (I guess he reads
better than I thought...) I hear they complain and whine quite a bit
when its not working these days.
Now if his wife could figure out how to use it or what it does
everything would be golden..... I can't figure out why she can't figure
it out, she can use on-demand just fine.....
