I have used a ReplayTV 2000-series more extensively and the UI between that and the 5000-series seemed very similar to me. My opinion of it that it's pretty awful compared to a TiVo. I'm sure it's something that you can get used to, but I never caught on. The HR20 really wins on UI even against TiVo. The ability to have the current program running in a small window inside the guide or menu system is great. When using a TiVo now, it seems odd to me that the video and audio cut out completely when entering the menus.


I personally perfer the TiVo method as it allows me to hit the TiVo button and Turn on my TV and not hear or see anything about the current show recording. This is very important when recording sports because I don't watch LIVE TV since I can't stand waiting thru commercials.
