I don't know. 90 mins is a long time to buffer. The only place I could see it comming in handy is for a football game or other sports program. I guess I could see your point because D* largely targets sports fans. If this is their first DVR and have had no experience with TIVO then they may complain.:sure:Mixer said:Unless they could offer two 90 minute buffers I doubt they will ever do it.
I have to wonder if D* will ever make the switch to dual buffers. For the average viewer (those mostly not in this forum) they know about the 90 minute buffer. What happens to all of these people when they wake up one day and they have only a 30 minute buffer. They will call D* and the CSR will explain that they have made a switch in the software so that you can now buffer two shows for 30 minutes (maybe 45?) each just like in the olden days of Tivo. The person calling could care less about the Tivo days and just wants their 90 minute buffer back.
How do you expalin that to people expecially when you never wanred them about it?
