The units debuted to both love and criticism from purchasers, primarily related to reliability, warranty, and service issues.[2] All models in the line were discontinued. One model, the DTVPal DVR, had unique features in this class of product: the ability to pause live TV and time-shift broadcast TV digitally. This model returned to production in 2010 as the Channel Master model Channel Master CM 7000PAL.
