Time Warner's STB UIs have quite obviously been designed by a
well-skilled team of blind, unemployed organ-grinder monkeys. Their
choice of colors (reds on yellows with ample color-bleeding is a
favorite), fonts (100pt non-antialiased for those too blind to read the
EPG) and graphic design (didn't we leave color clipping overlays in the
80's?) is top notch.
I dropped their box like a stone when the first SA Tivos rolled out
(Tivo's menu has its own issues, but its still light years ahead of what
they have - even years later with little change).
