The lack of PIP bothers me. It's not a feature that I'd use frequently, but there are two tuners in the DVR; why wouldn't you add that feature?
The hardware includes USB ports, but doesn't support external storage or tethering to a PC. I suspect they didn't implement this feature because they knew they could hook people for a secondary DVR (at $14.99 per month) for more storage space. I'm not a fan of that decision.
The online scheduling would be a cool feature, but it requires the "Home Media DVR" package, which is another $20 per month on top of the DVR rental.
If only there were an affordable cable card DVR that didn't require a monthly rental or subscription fee....
