I've had my HDR 1000S for a few months now and I generally like it, but the UI seems to have been designed with someone who doesn't understand that the best DVR UIs use the *least* number of remote control button presses to navigate around.
Examples where I get very frustrated with the number (or functionality) of remote control button presses are:
* An extra level of menu items is presented almost everywhere e.g. if I have a recording or nedia file highlighted, there's no single button to play it. OK goes into a further sub-menu and I have to press OK again to play it!
* The criminal lack of the use of the 4 coloured remote control "text" buttons in the UI. If you search around, you'll find a few places where they're used (in the On Demand apps for example) but they're invisible in the vast majority of the UI. The 4 coloured buttons are *screaming* to be used as one-button shortcuts (like I believe Sky boxes do).
* Inconsistent use of the left arrow for going all the way back up the UI menu tree drives me nuts. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't and you have use the Back button instead. Why can't both be used?
* It takes far too many button presses to play a media file on USB/DLNA - it's buried in Humax -> Video -> USB -> scroll to file -> OK to select -> OK a second time to play. A minimum of 10 remote control button presses
