Error messages, no DVR, no 72 hour rewind, cut resolution to 480p and 30fps for a long while, chunks of the guide missing randomly, switching channels only to switch you to either A&E or that weather station(real head scratcher)

The guide issue is a pain when its down but just go to the channel next to the one you want to watch and swipe. The only error message I get is when I first log in. That is a non issue because Im going to the guide first anyway.
I guess Im in the minority here but Ive had very few issues with streaming content on a daily basis. The lack of on demand and rewind does not bother me one bit. I have Kodi for that.

last night was the first time I had issues with the guide and it apparently wasn't just the guide. Channels that were actually blank on the guide were getting skipped over when I tried to simply channel surf. It was weird.

I'm there with you...very few problems with the service. I have an antenna for the few times I want to watch live broadcasts. For the savings I'm getting with DTVN vs Cox cable, I can live without the DVR (I got in on the introductory $35/mo rate).
