The new model typically has 9.5 inch whiskers with 9 inches spacing between each bay. The smaller length however came at the expense of the lower UHF channels.

Otherwise, the DVR features worked well to pause and rewind live shows. Unfortunately, when we looked ahead, the guide was usually incomplete: It provided partial listings for the next day, but not much beyond that (versus the standard, two-week preview that cable and satellite EPGs offer). The included electronic program guide (EPG) uses a standard layout with channels listed in descending order along with one-sentence descriptions of the shows. To evaluate the DVR functions, we recorded, paused and otherwise tested each of its features.
