I mainly watch DVR'd shows. The inability of the remote to stop when I'm fast forwarding or rewinding, pause, or even get into and out of recording a new show drives me up a wall. I currently have 3 remotes and will go from one to the other to the other to try to stop a show, exit when I've programmed a new one, I constantly change the batteries when it's not the batteries. It just drives me absolutely crazy.
A friend suggested getting a universal remote but I'm wondering if it's the DVR and not the remote. I'm almost ready to get rid of FIOS due to this.
When they change the DVR menu in a way that totally sucks but the remote and/or DVR is still buggy, it makes me crazy. I don't think they have their priorities straight at all.
