John Battelle is someone you probably haven’t heard of, unless you’re a geek. He’s known in the search engine community, and he wrote The Search: How Google and Its Rivals Rewrote the Rules of Business and Transformed Our Culture.
Well, it seems he’s been a TiVo user for a while now, but he recently made the jump to HDTV and got Comcast’s HD DVR in the process. His experience produced this blog entry: Rant: The Comcast HD DVR Is Simply, Terribly Awful
I think one of the last lines in the entry sums it up:Tivo HD, here I come. And not a minute too soon. I thought it was a fun rant to read.
Thomas Hawk has some commentary on the entry.
The Comcast TiVo software deployment can’t come soon enough.
