HDHomeRun plans a new DVR box, an interface overhaul, and maybe Roku support someday.
SiliconDust CEO Theodore Head was surprisingly cheery about our resoundingly negative review of his company's HDHomeRun DVR service.
Head knows the company’s first attempt at a DVR subscription service missed the mark with a clunky and confusing interface. During an interview at CES in Las Vegas last week, he chalked it up to inexperience with software after more than a decade of focusing on hardware, but he says major improvements are coming over the next couple of months.
“Just think of a bunch of heady hardware guys that started doing software, because we had a need to do this,” said Head. “Now we’re bringing in a little bit more of the dedicated UI experts who are going to do it much better.”
HDHomeRun’s software is getting a much-needed overhaul.
