DirecTV’s DVRs run into snags
Looks like DirecTV’s decision to go it alone isn’t working out so well. This from USA Today:
DirecTV appears to have hit some speed bumps with the rollout of its new digital video recorder — one of the company’s most important initiatives.
Following at least dozens of consumer complaints to the company and on Internet sites about sluggish and occasionally idiosyncratic performance, DirecTV on Tuesday upgraded the software for the second time since the DVR was introduced last month.
“Some things are not as intuitive as we thought, and we’re polishing it,” says DirecTV Chief Technology Officer Romulo Pontual. “It’s the kind of thing we do for a living.”

I always have terrible trouble with comment-related plugins that require me to put some line in the comment loop; I can never seem to find the right spot. Can anyone tell me where I should put the php line in my comments loop? I haven not modified anything much, and I would be very grateful. Thanks!
