This depends on how your household uses the boxes.


If you're independent adults living in a shared house and you've each got a box in your room, then you'd want it to just show your recordings, with a way of finding other recordings when your housemate happened to mention a great show they'd been watching.


If you live alone and have a box in the lounge and a box in the bedroom, you don't want to have to think about which box you were on when you made the recording - you'd want it to show up the same everywhere.


I've seen mention of profiles. Can you have your old behaviour by both using your own profile?

So you start your own platform and make it do what 90% of the user base want and save on the licensing costs. Lower fees passed onto the user. To be clear, the 360 platform isn't at this point yet.

It's all very well saying wait for the software updates, but this isn't new software. It's already in use in other countries, so I'd have expected them to have resolved problems like over-recording series links and audio syncing by now.
