Without adding or detracting from your main point, there plenty of consumer electronics products that require bug fixes, sometimes significant ones. For example, Dish Network's 921 and now more recently the 942 HD player have all sorts of bugs that frustrate users, and require firmware updates. Tivo has had its share, and the same holds true for Rios, Zen's, DVD player/recorders, Creatives' Harmony 880 remote, etc. Basically, any consumer device that requires / allows user setup, configuration, or updates will at one time or another incur such problems. TVs leave the factory preset, preconfigured, and mostly hardcoded. But even they sometimes need in-the-field service to replace unforeseen firmware or PROM bugs. -- MrC _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
