The TV signal is great, except that, brief power interruptions cause the
set-top DVR box to reboot, which causes the box to lose its TV Guide
listings, so I can't change a DVR programming setup until it all downloads
again. I have the box that my wife uses connected to a small UPS, so her
stuff is pretty safe.
The main box, and telephone system, have a time-limited battery backup, so
the phone is usually ok.
The speed of the internet connection makes the little things easy to
forgive.
