I'm sick of waiting for a new DirecTiVo from Sony, so I'm considering getting their UltimateTV box instead. I'm a former Dishplayer owner,so the fact that the interface is basically the same is kind of appealing.
However, as anyone who has owned a Dishplayer can tell you, they start out great, and over time they start sucking more and more, until they get to the point that you have to reboot them multiple times per day. They start deleting recordings for no reason, recording for 1 minute and then stopping, rebooting at random, erasing your scheduled recordings, and so on.
I'm concerned that since they use what appears to be a common code base, that these problems will eventually pop up on the UltimateTV box instead.
Anyone have any comments on the long-term viability of this product?
